I'd check the motherboard for compatibility issues, you can call the mfg and ask. (for the ram)

There have been a lot of threads recently in many forums about the fact that with the current AMD systems, dual channel or not, there isn't much benefit to getting the really fast/expensive ram.

 

[BossNoodleKaboodle]

and it costs about twice as much as standard pc3200 with little gain in speed and likely a loss in stability

 

[AMD_Gamer]

what compatibility issiues could there be?

 

[BossNoodleKaboodle]

well it might not even work with your motherboard. i've heard of people having problems with certian brands and cas latecnies with motherboards that will take another similar ram. the weirder your timings on ram are, the greater chance for data corruption too.

 

[AMD_Gamer]

ok so whats a good brand of RAM i should get

 

[CleanSlate]

Kingston or Corsair would most likely be compatible, like I said call the mfg and get a list of ram that's guarenteed to work with the mobo.
