Do you think I should stick with ddr2 ram or buy a new computer with ddr3? Is ddr3 worth it even if you have 4GB of ddr2 800mhz?

I think DDR3 is the best.At 1GB capacity,it performs equals to a 2GB DDR2 and required much less power.My notebook is operating with 4GB of DDR3 and I have no problems regarding the memory and my OS is running faster.Just changed it two months ago.

I didn't know ddr3 had double the power of ddr2. I knew it was more powerful but I didn't expect that it had that much power.

If you can, change them with DDR3 RAMs. They're way faster than DDR2s, like almost two times faster. Plus they consume 30% less energy than DDR2s. So If you have the chance to upgrade to DDR3s, do It!

yes there is no comparison in performaces as regards ddr2 and ddr3...it is necessary to choose ddr3 ram if you buy a new pc it is faster...
