Ram question

[medar]

Right now I have 1 stick of DDR3 Hyper X Fury 8GB 1866 MHz RAM, I want to get another RAM stick prefferably 8GB, but I can't seem to find the same exact stick I have on this website I buy of. Below are specs from my current RAM, it says 937 MHz because its 2x 937 MHz = 1866MT/s. Will this one work with it or no? https://www.olx.ba/artikal/46225122/kingston-hyperx-fury-black-8-gb/

Those timings may change a little bit and be worse, but otherwise I see no reason why that item won't work.

Another question would be why do you need more RAM

I have 8GB and when I use my PC for my tasks that I need it uses 6 GB close to 7 so I think its lowering my performance myb

Their existing 8GB just won't cut it nowadays, especially on windows 10.

Possibly, but if you choose a random 8GB 1866 MHz stick, I would say u got like a 1 in 3 chance it works. That's because there are three makers of the DRAM chips inside of a RAM stick: Micron (Crucial), SK Hynix, and Samsung.

Idk who Kingston used in the DDR3 days, but if you got a stick of RAM from another brand, it will only really work (as in it will still work but like not in a good way) if that stick also uses similar DRAM chips from the same DRAM maker. 

In your case, your chances of it working without a fight is best if you purchase a 8GB 1866MHz HyperX stick.

I found this one it's the EXACT same one even the color. https://www.olx.ba/artikal/27356515/nov-ram-kingston-hyperx-8-gb-ddr3-1866-mhz/ But i don't understand the price, 70 euros for DDR3 8GB come on now it can't be that expensive.

Unfortunately, the two of the four big makers of DDR3 chips has stopped or massively slowed down production as of early 2021, and a huge quantity of what is no longer being used get sent to a recycler or a landfill instead of fulfilling a second hand market. 

 

Bc of that, supply of DDR3 is shorter than demand in the current market, and ofc that means raised prices.
