before i even knew about the qualified vendors list i purchased 2x4gb of PNY ddr3 for my M4A89GTD PRO mb. it posted with one stick then i added the second and it seems to work fine. now i've gone and ordered the same deal for a total of 16gb. are there factors i'm not aware of or timings, etc. that i must change for it to be perfect? also the xfx5770 is not on the qvl and it works as well; the gpu just doesn't show up in the monitoring software. have i screwed up?
thanks guys

heres the memory i bought:

A particular memory not on a QVL list may still work. It just means that the memory wasn't tested with that motherboard.

For the video card, check the specs of the motherboard and the video card. Both use PCIe X16 interfaces. They are compatible.
