I currently have 1 8GB stick of ram. It is a Samsung M378B1G73BH0-CK0. I know its DDR3 but I want to stick with my MSI MS 2AE0 1.0 mobo for a while longer. I was going to get another M378B1G73BH0-CK0 but apparently it isn't very good. Any recommendations for affordable ram that is compatible with my mobo that is an upgrade from what I have currently? Thanks!

Mobo: MSI 2AE0 1.0 (FM2)
CPU: AMD A8 5500 (3.2/3.7GHz)
GPU: Asus GeForce GT 1030 (2GB)
PSU: HP 667893-002 (300w)
RAM: x2 Samsung M378B1G73BH0-CK0 (8GB DDR3)

Drive 1: Kingston A400 SA400S37240G (240 GB)
Drive 2: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 (1TB)

Monitor: Toshiba 23L1350U (23", 1920x1080, 60HZ)

M378B1G73BH0-CK0 Is listing as dual rank 1600mhz cl11.  I don’t remember if cl11 is high or low for ddr3. I also don’t know what the other speeds on it are.  Higher MHz ddr3 has been made, but I don’t know if your machine will have a problem with it or not.  It doesn’t seem great, but it also doesn’t seem that terribly bad. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
