I want to buy a 8GB RAM for an old pc. How do i know which speed to request. All i have is this pic. Shop asking for the actual pic of RAM. Is it not possible to determine the bus speed from this pic? PIC

    The next tab over the SPD gives ram speed and what is in each slot including brand and a part number.

    At top you will see a drop-down to choose each slot and what is in it.

    Post those pics and I know I can help. You are running ram in a single slot right now. Single channel. So if you have 2 slots best thing to do is split the ram between both slots to get dual channel. Think of a hyway a single lanrle hiway to the cou vs a double lane. That is exactly it.

    So you can either get another 4gb for 8 total or can get 2 8 for 16 total or if you have 4 slots get 3 4gb.

    SPD will give you a model number that you can go on ebay and find matching ram to what you already have.

    Post the MB tab too.
