Would this ram work with my motherboard..

[Mad_Cow20]

Hi guys,

Upgrading RAM and I want to go with 4gig and this price seemed to good to be true. I have really good RAM now but to upgrade to 4GIG is so much more money so I thought I could sell it and go with this other RAM. Questions are... Will this work with my mother board and am I getting the best bang for my buck?

RAM I want to buy:

RAM I have:

Motherboard I have:

Any help or advice would be great!

Unless you run 64bit os, you'll see up to 3.5gb of ram. Both are not bad, BTW.

So if I am running vista 32bit it will only recognize 3.5gb of ram in stead of all 4? Does that mean that it will only use the 3.5gb?

I think I will go with the newegg deal and try to sell the other ram...it is just to expensive to buy another 2gb when I really will not see such a performance increase compated to the other ram.

So why do you want such overclocked RAM anyway? DDR2-800 will get you through 1600MHz FSB.

Vista 32 can see up to 4GB. Beyond that, use 64-bit:

I mostly want to have more RAM to make programs run smoother and I thought for the money ($110) I could get decent RAM and have 4gb. If I added another 2 sticks of what I have now it would cost me another $330.
