I'm trying to build a very cheap computer capable of running games at medium or so settings. So far I have an Intel Q6600 and an Intel DG35EC motherboard. Looking at the motherboard's specs for RAM here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards/000006758.html#dimms it would appear that if I want to have 8gb, which I do, I need to have four sticks of DDR2, 2gb each, that are low density (x8), and are double-sided. Are these just "guidelines" or does the RAM have to be this exact? Especially the double-sided part? If so, would this RAM listed here work?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4GB-2X-2GB-2RX8-PC2-6400U-DDR2-800-128X8-16CHIPS-240PIN-NON-ECC-DESKTOP-RAM-/172133305772?hash=item2813f1cdac:g:irEAAOSwEK9XAYDW
Thanks for the help in advance. I feel like this is a bit of a silly question and I'm overthinking it, but the idea is to build the cheapest computer possible so making mistakes isn't an option.
