Determining RAM type

[icemanind9]

Hello, I am trying to upgrade the RAM on my Desktop PC from 4GB to 8GB. I have an ABIT IX38 Quad GT motherboard and according to the manual it can be upgraded to 8GB. My manual says it takes 4x 240-pin DIMM slots support maximum memory capacity up to 8GB. It supports Dual Channel DDR2 1066/800 memory. Can someone please link me the kind of memory I need to get 8GB of RAM? My motherboard has 4 slots. Thanks!

Also...you need to look at what RAM you currently have installed and match the newer RAM to it.

The RAM I have in there now is 4 - 1gb sticks, so I will probably have to just throw that RAM out and buy all new RAM since I only have 4 slots.
