I'm in need of some computer help of the variety I am COMPLETELY lost on. I have a cheap desktop(about a 3 year old EMACHINE, it was CHEAP!) I use for surfing the web and building my tunes on, here lately my wife has started using it for work and I have ran into a problem with the RAM in it. It has 2, 1 GB RAM cards in it now, and I would like to double it or more. The board is stamped DDR3 1066, but it gets wierd because it currently has 2 1GB GDDR3 1333's in it now. I haven't been able to find much on the GDDR3 other than it is supposed to be for a graphics card and can read and write at teh same time for improved graphic output. They are plugged into the slots marked for DDR3 1066. Most all of the GDDR3 cards I coudl find were actual graphics cards, but these are nothing more than standard RAM cards. Wanting to know if I would be fine runnign a DDR3 in it, or if there might be some special reason they put GDDR3 1333 in it. I found a few cards on Ebay that were GDDR3 that look like mine, but they were all used and wanting what I can buy a new DDR3 for of a larger capacity.
