Unless your gaming you wont notice a difference in speed with faster memory. Just more memory the better.

The more memory Windows has the less of the page file it will use, which in turn makes the system faster since it isnt using the HD for the page file :wink:

I have a hp pavilion media center m8100n. Which kind of ram? DDr2 or 3?

Chris

Shane:
Use this to see what speed is in it now

A motherboard will only support 1 speed. So if it is ddr2 you have to get ddr2. If it is ddr3 you need to get ddr3 :wink:

And if your adding to the memory you have now you need to get the same specs, otherwise get all new sticks and replace the current ones.

chris635:
Its ddr2. I going to get all new sticks. Are 4 gb sticks available? I have 4 slots so.... 16 gb?

Chris

Shane:
You have to see what the motherboard can handle.

Normally store bought machines cant handle that much.

I have 8GB myself and never come close to using it all. :wink:
