finaly had time AND remebered it :O
its F3-10600CL9D-8BGNTPC3-10600
btw. why do you want to know it?

So you have two set's of that G-Skill RAM right? If you do then you don't need more RAM.
So the things you can keep are your optical drives, hard drives, RAM, and possibly case fan's, and maybe the case. Otherwise everything else needs an upgrade.

Different types of memory are used for different tasks, RAM (or VRAM) is used because it is very fast. What more VRAM allows you to do is use more software at one time, multitasking has nothing to do with memory. Actually the only way you can truly multitask is if you have parallel processor's (think Graphics Processor's) but you won't really be using it directly anyway because us humans will never be able to multitask under normal circumstances.
A couple of notes, the amount of cores on your processor does not matter as much as the frequency of hertz, and the frequency of hertz does not matter as much as integrated processor memory. The larger the bus bit-width is for your GPU the more data your GPU can transfer at one time, 256-bit > 128-bit.
The best processor's are the one's that use power per core efficiently and have a large cache.
Also it depends on what type of applications you are going to use and if those applications will use more cores. It's also important to take into the account of threads versus cores and how they differentiate. Threads are virtual representations of a programs instructions to be executed by your logical core's, the more logical core's you have the more thread's you can execute at once. If you have SMT/HT each logical core shares some of it's processing power between two thread's at once so you effectively get one logical processor processing two threads back and forth, thus creating the illusion of two more logical processors. Which is why if you have a processor with Hyper Threading technology, proprietary Intel, then you have four virtual cores if you have two logical cores.
Anyway, just worry about this when you actually have the money.

That memory is ungodly slow now days. There is a decent margin in going from 1333 c9 (yours) to say a 1600 c9. Swapping ram could net you up to another 3fps potentially. If you upgrade CPU and GPU down the line, the ram would really start holding you back. Now you may be able to push it to 1600 c9 on those sticks but thats about it.
Also, @ghost53574, the frequency is only the second most important factor. IPC, or the amount of work per cycle, is the most important. Thats why a 3.2ghz Intel can beat a 4ghz AMD just about every time. HT is not a direct 100% boost in speed, roughly 70% extra but only in programs that are written to take advantage of it.

Forgot about IPC because it's been so long since I've either seen the term directly or heard it from someone. Also CL9 ftl

I only have 1600 D:
I tried clocking my memory at CL8 but it was soo unstable for some reason. Corsair Dominator Plat 2x8
Hm. Try 9-8-7-24-1T. May have luck with that, if no good go 9-8-8-24-1T. Thats good for a 5.9% boost. If needed, slowly bump volts up to 1.65.

I had made my own similar thread to this, since I hadn't seen this one, and I've copied and pasted what I posted for myself there basically!
Logitech K800 Keyboard, Logitech Performance MX, Samsung T240 24", Chimei(who?) 22", Acer 22" Monitors, Logitech 5.1 something or another, Siberia v2 headset, Coolermaster 1000 something
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro motherboard, i5 2500K, Kingston 16gb DDR3, GTX 670, PNY 240gb SSD, assorted HDDs combined up to 3.5TB, bluray burner/reader that doesn't work, dvd/cd burner that I think works, Trendnet something something AC router, Zoom modem.

Here's my rig. Nothing like tech school housing to fuck up ergonomics!
CrashMan054
Commander
Better than my chair; which is a folding chair with a pillow and a cushion.Here's my rig. Nothing like tech school housing to fuck up ergonomics!
My setup
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
MOBO: MSI 870A-G54
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870
RAM: G. Skill DDR3 1600 8GB
SDD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Drive
HDD: Seagate 1TB Drive
PSU: Rosewill RG630-S12 630W
Case: Raidmax Smilodon
The CPU is over 5 years old now, so I'm looking to upgrade that and the Mobo soon. Any suggestions?
But if I get the 8350 I can have a space heater in my room.
