Hello. I have a GIGABYTE Z87X UD3H motherboard and I'm planning on replacing my old 2x2 4GB RAM module with this 1x8 module, it's a Kingston HyperX Black 8GB Memory Module:

m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=1305467727&pid=mp1305467727&pcatId=abcat0506000

I'm very interested in these aspects of the computer but I'm still new at this, and I really want to learn. I want to know if I can upgrade to this module and if not, the reason why not.

Also if anyone could explain me that whole SDRAM thing I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

So you mean that if I want more amount of memory in my desktop I should use a 2x"X" module? What about if I use two of those for a 2x8 module for 16GB? (just wondering, I may just opt for the 2x4)

The link doesn't work because I'm writing this from mobile, heh.

I guess I can't mix up modules? The ones I have are really old, since they came with an old pc and I needed RAM for the new one and I just moved it from there, wouldn't happen something if I mix the 2x4 old ones with 2x4 new ones?
