ok so first before buying any ram you must check the mother board ram memory specs "the mother board lists memory types brands how many sticks and how much gigs in each stick it will handle. here is the 790i list
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_nforce_790i_ultra_...

with in there you choose """Memory Compatibility List (1.56MB PDF)""""

here is the link
http://www.nvidia.com/content/nforce700i/nForce_Intel_M...

this tells you exactly what memory it can use and how many sticks of how many gigs and what brand, other than that,, alot of time is going to be spent in the timings and so on..

i my self found this out with my 790i bought 8 gigs of ram, they didnt meet the requirements, the meet the standard 667hz, 8 gigs, some other stuff power volatge and what not,, a while ago soo i put my 4 gigs back in the mobo and am going to buy some ram that matches the compatibility list
