Best way to upgrade RAM memory on new Dell 8300
I recently ordered a new Dell 8300 system, and thanks to advice received on the forum didn't pay Dell the $240 they wanted for an upgrade from the base 6gb to 12gb RAM that I need.
My question: what's the best brand choice/deal on appropriate memory to get me to 12gb? I believe there are four slots with 2gb x 2 and 1gb x 2 = 6gb today. I suppose there are several options on how I get to 12gb. I could buy and install
4gb x 3, or
3gb x 4, or
4gb x 2 and keep the 2gb x 2 already in place?
Here is the Dell upgrade option (that I didn't take):
12GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMs*
$240.00
And where's then best online or Toronto store to buy it?
Thanks!
