You will need to download the QVL to see if it's on the list. http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P [...] templete=2

Well I did some research about the Mobo and the Ram .
the motherboard uses DDR3 1600Mhz Ram and the corsair one you asked about is also a DDR3 1600Mhz.
So it will work properly.
They are compatible.

That RAM requires 1.65V - which is fine. Make sure M/B can be set to supply that voltage.

Not sure what you've getting for your $140 or so for 2 2GBs of RAM. This high-end Patriot RAM has better specs, though needs 1.9V. And costs under $100

Seems like many choices there... some at 1.65V, some higher

^1.9v is WAY above DDR3 voltage specs. The MAX voltage for DDR3 is 1.65-1.7v.

LOL - that's why I mentioned it!

Heck, check out these neat puppies! I mean, this is 'cool' RAM!
