Gigabyte X48-DS4+ 8GB Corsair Dominator 1066MHz

Hey guys..looking to get 8gbs on this board but not sure if it supports it or not.
I've been one other person with 8gb but it was 800mhz not 1066mhz.
The gigabtye/corsair forums give nothing about this ram or board so am looking to see if there's anyone else out there with 8gbs.

So board is Gigabyte X48-DS4 and ram is Corsair Dominator 1066mhz DDR2 (link below)

No need to tell me 4GB is enough..it's not when you're running virtual machines etc.
And I already have this 4gb kit in the board.

And thanks a lot.

I checked the site and it supports up to 8 gigs:

As I said you will need a 64bit operating system to see and use it.

Ok, your original question was you didnt know if it supported 8 gigs or ram or not. But thats ok.

Look at the memory compatability sheet for your mobo and if you see the same brand with similar timings it should work but you know how that is.

Do you have 2 2gig sticks of ram and are thinking about getting 2 more gigs? If your concerned about compatability and dont think your ram is compatable then get a different brand of ram that is on the mobo spec sheet. DDR2 is so cheap its unreal so it should be easy to get around that.

Thanks guys..yeah checked the Vendors list and there's not much on it.
Just states single channel and dual channel.
I suppose only 1 real way of finding out

I added to this post coz I had a problem with 8GB on the same hardware and found this post and thought the extra info might help.

I am running GA X48-DS4 with 8GB Corsair Dominator 1066 RAM in windows 7 x64.

Had 4GB (2x2gb) for awhile and it worked fine. When adding the extra 4GB it kept BSOD every half hour or hour.

The fix was simple, run the default hardware setting tool in the motherboard BIOS.

Works perfectly now, no need to manually adjust the RAM voltage, although you can to overclock it some more.
