Hi, I've been running my PCS system for 5 years with several upgrades........I now want to upgrade the Ram,I'm currently running the 6gb that came with the PC,and I want to double it to 12GB.......My Mobo is the ASUS® P6X58D-E: DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, 3-Way SLI. and my ram is the 6GB KINGSTON HYPER-X TRI-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (3 x 2GB KIT)
How and what do I upgrade the ram with?? I guess replace the 3x2gb sticks with 3x4gb sticks??I cant find any identical ram as its 5 years old so what would u guys do??
Plz advise(my original spec below)
PS I tried the Official PCS upgrade system but got the following message 'No amendment options are available for this item'.
