^^This is my RAM

I'm looking into a new MoBo because I am going to be slamming mine into a friends, I'm keeping my am3 1045T, and what I really want is more RAM, would that RAM work on this board? (Which is the RAM I have

I just really want something with more RAM channels, and USB 3.0 out back, and onboard HDMI.

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

Yes that memory is compatible with that motherboard, both are ddr3 and the dual channel is fine.

Thank you very much for the reply!

I have one more question, what would be the cheapest 2x2gb RAM for this MoBo (Below)? I usually go by the QVL, but I cannot get onto the AsRock website, thanks!

You shouldn't have issues with any ram in that board. The QVL only means those are the models of ram used to make sure they worked in the board. They can't take the time to test every stick of ram made in their products.

Whats wrong with staying with G.skill?

I'm keeping my G.skill Sniper RAM out of my 880GM-LE, and putting it in the new board I'm getting, and then I'm adding 8GB more of the Sniper RAM I have, I absolutely love G.skill, great price/perf Value!

Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: Would my Sniper RAM also work with this board?? http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A88M/#MSL

 

[johnb35]

Yeah, shoudn't have any issues with it. Again, it doesn't have to be on the QVL to work with your board.

Just wondering, but what are you using this computer for? I don't want to tell you how to use your money, but 8GB is enough for gaming and everyday use. You wouldn't see any performance boost at all with 8GB more. Just to let you know.

I do A LOT of photoshop, CAD, and FL Studio (music making). I also do gaming, not hardcore gaming, but I mainly use it for FL Studio.

All right, then. You'll benefit from that RAM with Photoshop and CAD.

Have you tried overclocking your CPU? That can give you some better performance, too.

Yes the memory is 100% compatible.

The high density ram may not work with that motherboard.

 

[Pell]

Is it likely it will work? Please help me and tell me if it will? thank you

 

[johnb35]

A lot of older motherboards won't work with high density memory. I can't be for sure if it will work or not. If it was a newer motherboard I would say it would work with no issues.

 

[cabinfever1977]

for your board:
4 x DIMM, max. 4GB, DDR 400 / 333 / 266, ECC, non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Dual Channel Architecture

and i checked a list of suported boards for that high density ram and the closest number i saw on the list was K8M800 and your board is K8M890,so it is close and i think it will work,but im just quessing.

but if it was me,i would have spent a few extra bucks and got low density just to make sure.

 

[Jamebonds1]

As former owner of motherboard socket 939. This motherboard can only support up to 400 MHz RAM and 4 GB RAM with 64 bit windows OS. So yeah, both motherboard and RAM will work at no problem. And you would better off buy DDR 400 MHz from different website

Just curious, why would you want to buy oldest motherboard socket 939 when you can buy motherboard AM3+ for less than 150 dollar?

Thank You guys i also have another question

will this PC work with windows 7 x64?

Stats:
CPU 2.2ghz single core
1gb ram (if the ram works 3gb)
geforce 8400 GS
200gb hard drive

Thanks i just would like to use windows 7 over xp although xp is good. Also i just checked inside the pc and looked at the ram it is low density i am having second thought on this ram i dont think it will work with high density ram. Bummer Thanks for the help guys please answer my question above if you know cheers

 

[johnb35]

You may have an issue running it with a single core processor and only 1gb of ram. I really wouldn't chance it. What processor are you actually running?

^ that one i think and it will be more than 1gb of ram if this ram works

 

[johnb35]

Not only will you have to be concerned about the ram running high denisity with low density, but also you will have to concerned with driver compatibility as you are running a motherboard that is outdated. It might not have good windows 7 drivers. I did notice that it had vista drivers though.
