Sorry to have to ask these but I see slightly varying opinions on #1.

1. With a ddr4 2133mhz stock ram, would I see any improvement in performance with say 2400, 3000, etc? Is this determined by the motherboard? what about when overclocking, even if the max the computer can handle is 2133mhz. (Still trying to verify if 2133 is the max my cpu can take with manufacturer)

Does the 'brand name' of RAM matter?

I am upgrading from 2GB to 4GB maybe as much as 8GB if i switch from windows xp to 7. Is there a performance difference among RAM brands? My home recording laptop (toshiba dual 1.6) is 5 yrs old, and is soon going to be my internet machine. i am holding off for a year on a new computer purchase, to get my money's worth, and see how usb 3.0 prevails.

I have a 2.3 dual core with 1.5 GB RAM. (2x512 and 2x256), I'm adding 2x 1GB modules and I'm wondering if it makes any difference in performance where I put them... first 2 slots, or just add them after the rest of the chips I already have?

Hi

I'm trying to put together a system and I was wondering if this setup looks stable. I'm also keen to know if it is definite that the performance equals the NCCH-DL dual Xeon in performance. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
