Hi. Well my question is: i have a d975xbx2 Intel motherboard with an Intel core 2 quad Q6600 processor and RAM DDR2 553 Corsair. And i wish to upgrade my Rams memories. But i doesn't have idea if my PC supports PC2 (PC2 is the same as DDR2?) And my question: The Kingston HyperX - Memory - 2 GB ( 2 x 1 GB ) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR II - 800 MHz / PC2-6400 - 1.95 V - unbuffered - non-ECC works in my PC?

Sorry if i didn't explain me well, the English isn't my natal lenguage.

Thanks you for all your answers.

The best way to find out what RAM is compatible is to go to the manufacturer's website, enter the make and model of your motherboard and it will tell you what is compatible. If you want Kingston, go to the Kingston websire

That particular Kingston set wouldn't be your best choice. Your MB specs are 1.8 to 1.9 v for memory. The Kingston website has a good search function, just input d975bx2 (from the pick list) and you'll get a whole page of model #s. The bx2 can also use ecc memory, but it will cost more...
