The picture shows the one in my computer 5 5 5 12. When I go to newegg I see this timing 5 5 5 18 on the ram stick

Well its both PC6400 Ram...They have different timings..that can be changed in the bios though..


Your old looks like Corsair..but it must be older corsair, or not gaming sticks


They are both CM2X sticks though......

My guess is that you may have to run all of your RAM at the looser timing rating if the new RAM cannot function at the same rate as your old RAM.

I would bite the bullit and just get a new set ( 2X2 ) for 99 bucks US and be done with it..Keep the old as a back up should you ever need it....


This ram with its CASS of 5 is great...The lower the CASS for FSX the better...

I think that would be a good move, thanks for the advice as always. I sure wish my brain could comprehend all this hardware and software jargon but I am learning (bits) at a time.
