Ram Upgrade Question (Compatibility...)

TheTippmannballer · Jul 13, 2013

Currently have 4GB of ram and want to upgrade to 8.

I have this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131366

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231190

Question is, would I be able to install 2 more sticks of the same memory and would it all be compatible? I'm not sure exactly how dual channel works.

Technically you can install 2 more sticks of RAM. The problem is, due to some hard-to-explain circumstances not all ram sticks work together. There are even occurrences when the same model of RAM sticks but purchased in a different time interval just refuse to work together. Best bet is to buy a 2nd pair of the same brand, model and specifications of the ones you already have. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick replies. What I meant was to keep my existing 4GB (2x @GB) and buy another 4GB (Same model) to install in the other 2 open slots. Sounds like it should work though. Thanks. I'll let you know how it works.

Let us know, if any problems, and there may well be, I can generally get sticks to play nice together
