The DDR2 memory at eBay may be using memory chips with x4 data width which is recognized by AMD based memory controllers but not (fully) recognized by Intel based memory controllers.

The photo of the memory modules for sale at eBay is not clear enough to positively identify the type of memory chips used. But most likely the memory chips are x4 data width anyway.

So, either this memory will not work at all in the DG41RQ motherboard, or at best, the system might only recognize half the installed memory (4 GB, instead of 8 GB).

Therefore it is suggested that you look elsewhere for "compatible" DDR2 memory.
