Need RAM Upgrade Suggestions

[peterpopanut]

Hello all! I recently had a computer built for me with an ASUS M3N78-VM MB and an AMD Athlon II x4 620. I wanted to upgrade the RAM in it. It currently has 4Gigs in it. I do alot of video encoding and am trying to cut down the time it takes to do complete. How much RAM can this thing handle and what brand do you all suggust? I would like to stick with Newegg.com if at all possible.

Thanks, Peter!

I could have sworn he said 16GB... but you are the expert...

Asus is the expert. See for yourself.

The American site is down right now, so this is the Canadian, but I don't think the specs change.

and that's what makes you the expert...

I'm at work right now and am not able to view that website... do you mind letting me know how many slots it has? So I know to get 4 2GB sticks or do I need to get 2 4GB sticks? Thanks!

The board has 4 x240-pin DIMM, as stated.

4 slots. Are you buying all new RAM or adding to your existing RAM?

If you adding to what you already have, you should find the specs
on the RAM you currently have and try to match it.
