Please help me! I'm confused! There are too many choices when purchasing Memory for my computer!
I want to upgrade the memory in my ABS Computer-Model Ultimate 5^64. I have three memory banks. Presently installed are two Corsair 256 MB modules, a total of 512 MB with one empty bank. I would love to max out the memory to 3GB, but I'm not sure I can afford it right now.
CPU Mfg: AuthenticaMD
Motherboard: Gigabyte K8 Triton Series GA-K8N Pro-Model nForce3
CPU Family: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ Model 4, Stepping 8
CPU Speed 2009 MHz
System Mfg: NVIDIA
System Model: AWRDACPI
Is it true that I should purchase memory in matched pairs, or is that just a sales pitch? I'm thinking of buying two "sticks" of memory of 1GB each, depending on the price, of course.
At the time I purchased my PC, it was considered to be a "high-end gamer-type" pc. Does that mean I should purchase "more expensive" or "better" rather than "value-priced" memory?
Please help me decide on some guidelines to use to purchase memory.
Thanks so much in advance for your kind assistance.
