Ram

This might sound basic, but does any DDR-SDRAM PC3200 fit into my motherboard, because on some RAM manufacturers website there are RAM module finders which will give you compatible modules, but I thought that any RAM worked with my mobo as long as it was DDR-SDRAM and up to PC3200. For example, I was looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146890 but it is not in the results of the compatible RAM modules on OCZ website... http://www.ocztechnology.com/support/motherboard/63

sometimes certain brands arent compatible thats why manufacturers have compatible list for some of their mobos or you can read reviews from buyers if there are any.

generally speaking you'll be fine with that ram. in the past it was generally high density ram that caused problems, i'm not sure if the memory controller on the AMD athlon has problems with high density ram i would say its fine due to how new the technology is (relatively speaking)
