I read the very detailed guide about RAM.
I'm sorry. My brain got fried somewhere near the beginning. All kidding aside, that's a very good detailed piece of work.
But I'm still lost so maybe some of you can point me in the right direction.
My pc has an Intel E8400 CPU, an EP45-UD3LR motherboard and Windows 7 Pro x64.
Pc is used for SOHO, and as a family pc including music, some videos and an occassional game.
I want to put 2 sticks of 4 g's in the motherboard.
But don't have a clue as to what brand, speed, latency, timing etc..
Thank you for any help.

BTW, Why I mentioned 1.8V is this is the standard voltage for DDR2. Any modules that use higher voltage are either overclocked or using a higher voltage to make lower quality ram chips work. Also I would get PC2 6400 and stay away from higher speed ram especially because you want 4GB dimms.
 
4GB sticks are just on the large end for DDR2 RAM (2GB stick were far more common at the time). But two sticks in a dual-channel system is ideal.

How much RAM are you running now? What are you hoping to get out of running 8GB? I'm mostly curious to see why you're upgrading.
 
I'm running 2g's now on a 64 bit windows 7 os.
Makes sense to me to upgrade now. Pick up a little more responsiveness.
Thanks.

This will not increase you speed unless you are making use of your pagefile. Check taskmanager for that.
