Help Upgrade On My P5B Mobo

[Pravas]

Hi guys, would ya all please help me Upgrade on my P5B Deluxe Wifi Mother board? It's been 3yrs now
My Pc configuration is as below:-

Mobo:-Asus p5b

Proccy:- E6400 (2.13 Ghz)

Ram:- Zion 2Gb DDR2 667 Mhz

Gfx:- Nvidia 8600GT 256 MB

PSU:- 450V's

First i would like to upgrade my RAM to 4GB atleast, but i'm not sure if my MOBO supports DDR3? Then should i upgrade my existing RAM with higher frequency one or update with the same frequency. I guess my mobo supports upto 8GB can i do that???

Now for the Graphics card, does it matter whether it's DDR2 Or DDR3 i mean when it comes to compatibility with my MOBO.

if your board got 4 DIMM slots, you may install additional 2Gb DDR2-800Mhz ram. it'll work at 667Mhz. if your upgrade your ram, try OC the processor to 2.5Ghz.

no it doesn't matter. you can install a DDR5 memory based gfx card on a DDR1 based motherboard without any problem.

Thanks For Quick Replying, I was wondering if my previous ram would under clock my new 800Mhz Ram, then why not Opt for 667Mhz instead

Yeah i have 4 Slots for Ram, two of them are occupied with 1Gb Ram. So what if i get 2X2Gb(of 667Mhz) instead for the rest slots. Would it be there any Power or Heating Issues

As i have ZION Ram previously installed, which one should i go for this time? And please provide approx price.

Mmm never did overclocking, so i think i would leave it as it is.

cause 667Mhz rams hard to find. DDR2 is almost obsolete now (due to sudden discard of support by both AMD & Intel). or you may sell off your 2Gb ram & opt for 2 * 2Gb DDR2-800Mhz ram. price depends from city to city. so can't say anything about it. should cost same as DDR3 i.e. 4Gb for 4.5-5k.

Hey guys i want to add 500 Gb to my existing 320Gb(7200rpm) Hard Drive. Please suggest me a good Hdd and also point out things that should be taken care of.

What is a 450V PSU? What PSU do you have?
