So, a few years back, my buddies here suggested a specific setup for me that honestly still holds its own today, which is why I’ve finally decided to treat my rig to some extra RAM...

Here’s what I’m currently running:
- ASUS ROG Maximus, P35 (dual PC2-6400U DDR2)
- Intel Core i7-13700K
- 4 GB KIT (2x2GB) PC 6400/DDR2-800/Corsair

I'm looking to grab another 4 GB (2x2), so I was wondering what you guys would suggest? Like, is it even worth hunting down faster memory at this point, or am I just throwing money down the drain?

Most of the time, I’m just grinding away in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, messing around with browsers, and occasionally jumping into some games.

Thanks! 🙂

Just grab whatever the current speed of your RAM is...

Larry Ortiz5 makes a valid point.

With 1066MHz memory, you could probably overclock the thing to the moon. Besides, you’ve got plenty of memory on hand; you aren't going to notice much of a difference sticking with 8GB of RAM.

If you're really set on upgrading that old junker, I guess just grab an SSD you can toss into a new rig later. It'll definitely speed things up, whereas 8GB of RAM might leave you feeling a bit sluggish if you have too many apps running at once.
