Looking to upgrade the ram on my 10year old pc. It currently has 3x2gb ram in at the moment and looking to upgrade it to 16gb.

Let me know if you are looking to offload any

Cheers

DDR2? DDR3? Your best chance is a good quality SSD and then RAM.

Hey, yes, I did a fresh windows install on a new SSD just this evening!

I think it has DDR3 installed at the moment. So I think that's what I'm after. Wondering if DDR4 would work?

You need to check your motherboard model and what max it can take on the manufacturer website. Most likely it will be DDR3, it won't take DDR4 for sure. Sadly nothing laying around but maybe someone else will have for you.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
