Hi , i want to upgrade my ram and the situation is that my motherboard supports ddr3 1333 nothing above and i found cheap ram but its drr3 1600.
My PC specs are :
MB > G41MXE/GM41MXE-K
CPU> intel celeron E3400 2600MHz duel-core
RAM> 1333 2gb ( idont know its name ,maybe in the picture below you can find out more)
I would love to hear a respons cause for me its a big deal to byy anykind of a part for my pc.
And also if its possible how to do it what should i change in the BIOS (cause i read there are some sething and voltages....)

Also the RAM i want to add is A-DATA (AD3U1600W4G11-B) DDR3 1600 240 Pin Unbuffered DIMM

pictures i took of the BIOS :

p.s - sorry ,but english is not my native language

Yes, go with something that a manufacturers confirms to be compatible, newer lines of DRAM use the higher density 4Gb memory ICs which aren't compatible with the older mobos/chipsets that require low density (2Gb memory ICs)

Hello Martin132343,

Your motherboard spec says, it supports RAMs with these frequencies:

Dual channel DDR3 1333(oc)/1066/800 MHz, 2 DIMMs, Max 8GB

So even if you buy a 1600MHz memory, it will by default automatically run at 1333MHz. No need to change anything in BIOS.

Update:

I'm not sure about the ADATA RAM compatibility with your motherboard, as they do not have the G41MXE/GM41MXE-K motherboard in their compatibility list.

But Crucial has confirmed compatibile RAM list for your motherboard. Check here:
www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/FOXCONN/g41mxe

Corsair RAM compatibility list:
http://www2.corsair.com/configurator/new_configurator_product_results.aspx?sc=&id=1358490

So use these compatible RAM lists as base information, try and get any one these confirmed compatible RAMs or RAMs with similar config in your area.

Cheers!

Thanks for the fast replies ,i`ll try to see if i can make a deal with the local store (cause i couldn`t find those suported rams on the local stores, atleas those i know of ) to try the ram.
I`ll give an update as sune as i`ve sorted out this (probably tomorrow)

Also i`ve opened the case and the ram i have is au02gfa33c9nbgc apacer but i couldn`t find its IC ( though i found the ICs of the ram i cosidering buying - IC Configuration - 256 x 8, 512 x 8)

Thanks again for the help from both of your!
