Hey guys,
So I need a new motherboard because mine only holds up to 4 GB (2 GB x2 sticks) and I want it to be able to hold up to 8 GB (4 GB x2 sticks). Also the motherboard needs to be able to work with basically everything that I already have except the RAM. Thanks,
Here is all my specs if this helps:

Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

CPU
AMD Athlon II X2 220
Regor 45nm Technology

RAM
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-18)

Motherboard
PEGATRON CORPORATION NARRA5 (Socket AM2 )

Graphics
HP 2010 (1600x900@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (MSI)

Storage
298GB SAMSUNG HD321HJ SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

Optical Drives
hp DVD A DH16AAL SCSI CdRom Device

Audio
USB Audio Device

Your motherboard can already support 8GB if you have 2 4GB sticks.
However, it's only DDR2 so that still makes an upgrade worthwhile.

Anyway, this. It'd be DDR3, it'd open the possibility of 16GB of RAM in the future, it's a lot better than your current motherboard, and it should handle any component except for the RAM that your current board does. It's FM2+, so it'd run your current FM2 CPU but also open up future FM2+ CPUs as an option for upgrades.

hang on, you have two ram slots, but need more ram slots in order to fit two ram sticks..makes no sense.

I am thinking of two things;

You actually meant 4x 2GB sticks

You are wanting to get ram slots that are DDR3, as you have DDR2 ram slots currently.
