Increasing RAM capacity

[ZixteE]

Hello currently i have 4gb [HyperX Fury DDR3] and later on after my work im planning to buy another 4gb [HyperX Fury DDR3] and my motherboard is Asus H61m-C and it supports dual channel. My question is If i'll buy another 4gb [HyperX Fury DDR3] what should i consider?. Also i used speccy to see my systems information and i saw my ram currently running 789mhz. So if i bought new ram [said above] will it double the speed?.

 

sorry for bad english or bad sentence. Thank you and looking forward

Ram speeds don't work like that. If you have 1x DDR3 at 789mhz + 1x DDR3 at 2100mhz, you will not get 2889mhz. If you buy another 4GB HyperX Fury DDR3, you'll have 8GB Ram total running at whatever the LOWEST speed is, so if 1x 789mhz and 1x 2100mhz, both will be 789mhz.

No, the speed will not double by adding another stick.

 

DDR = Double Data Rate. so while it shows your ram running at 789, its actually running at double that if you were to check in the bios.

I see, So if i bought the same brand [ Hyper X fury 4gb DDR3 ] there's nothing to worry about right?. One more thing

2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory 
Dual Channel Memory Architecture 

Thats my MOBO said that speed is per channel right? so if i dual channel they'll run both 789/1600 mhz?

They'll both run at 1600, yes. Most software like CPUz says the ram is running at half the speed as the BIOS says, so if it says 789 it should be running at 1600MHz both now and with the extra stick.
