I have a MSI z87 G45 gaming motherboard with an 1150 socket cpu. I’m looking to see if this ram is compatible provided by the link. Also if anyone knows how I can check for myself that would be cool. I know there is laptop memory, server memory, ecc, buffered/unbuffered. I find memory confusing. If someone could please explain how to tell if ram is compatible thanks .

I’m not mixing anything. I didn’t know that there was a chance it won’t run. That’s interesting. I just gave my friend a bunch of pc parts for us to play overwatch . We’re kind of desperate because he’s low on funds and has no system to use at the moment. I’m just trying to cut costs as much as possible but if you say that there’s a chance it won’t run at all I will definitely avoid that. Thank a lot for you’re feedback. I’ll look elsewhere.

First of all, 2gb is insufficient for anything.
If you are planning on adding the stick to another 2gb module, they must match.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.

I suggest you go to a ram web site and access their ram selection app.
Enter your motherboard or pc and you will get a list of supported ram kits.

If you have a problem, you will get support.

The link I showed is two DIMMs of 2gb. At least that’s the impression I was under. I’m trying to get by with 4gb. Funds are very low. I wouldn’t use 2gb lol. If that’s 2gb, I agree 100% that’s insufficient. I thought it was 4gb total.

I see, it does look like 2 x 2gb.
That said, I would pass.
Find out the specifics of compatible ram.
Kingston is a good source.
Identify some specific kits that will work, then go looking on ebay.
Ebay protects the buyer in disputes.
If you buy a kit that Kingston says is supported your are ok.
