I want to upgrade my ram to 8gb, but im not sure what is compatible with my motherboard. Could you find the best deal for me from here http://www.arvutitark.ee/est/TOOTEKATALOOG/ARVUTIKOMPONENDID-Malud-lauaarvutile-DDR3-malud-lauaarvutile, please. My motherboard has 2 ram slots, so im going to need 2x4gb.

The homepage for my motherboard says about compatible memories:
º Dual-channel DDR3 memory architecture
º 2 x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM socket support up to 8 GB
º Supports DDR3 2400 (OC) / 2200 (OC) / 2000 (OC) /1800 (OC) /1600 (OC) / 1333 /1066 DDR3 SDRAM

You should be fine upgrading to 8 GB then. I can't read Russian and Google translate isn't working on that site, but here is the Amazon link to the RAM I would recommend. I chose this since your mobo can only support DDR3 1333 memory and you wanted 8 GB. It's Corsair just because I like Corsair however you can find a similar version of it on the site you wanted to purchase from :D

Really you can't go wrong with RAM. They are all pretty much the same (i.e. Corsair RAM doesn't differentiate from Crucial) so it is more of a opinion of which company is better. However I look at your motherboard and it says this on the website for the product...

Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit OS.
For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation

Do you know if your OS is 32 bit or 64 bit?
