RAM Compatibility (Older ECS Motherboard)

MrCarder · Jul 10, 2014

I'm wanting to upgrade the memory on my HTPC (long overdue), but I'm having trouble finding the information I need on compatibility. I tried Crucial's System Scanner and 4AllMemory's Scanner, but neither worked correctly.

My motherboard is the "ECS BLACK SERIES P45T-A LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard". Here are the specs under Memory:

Can I just use any 240-pin DDR2? I intend to replace my 2GB of RAM with 4GB of RAM (2x2GB)

EDIT - I just found this set. It looks compatible. Can anyone confirm?

Adding memory is often the cause of compatibility problems. It is best to use a matched pair that comes in a kit that has already been tested for compatibility.

Of course, you can add another stick but whether it works correctly can be a gamble.

Sorry, I should have specified in the OP - but I'm not planning on adding memory on top of what I have, I'm replacing the current memory (2GB) with 4GB (2x2GB). I just want to make sure the new memory is compatible with my system.

Yes, should be fine, may want to check the BIOS is up to date....pop the new in and if all is well, could possibly add the old for a bonus

Go ahead and slap me, I'm sure this is a dumb question, but how do I check for updates to my BIOS?

Go into the BIOS - on main page it should show the version, then find your mobo on the manufacturers site and check under support, should have a page on the different versions of BIOS - compare to the latest
