What memory do I need?

[jnojr]

Before everyone starts laughing at my ancient hardware (Oh, OK, go ahead and laugh, I'll wait for you to finish!), I really don't feel any need to pour hundreds of dollars into a new system. What I have works for me (clearly, I don't play any games made in the last ten years, but nobody's perfect!) and I'd just like to add 2 more GB

Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
CPU is E2180
Current RAM is 2X1GB Crucial BL2KIT12864AA804

Since I can't find that exact RAM any more, I'm fine with just getting a 2X2GB kit. But I'm not sure about the voltages and stuff... will any 4GB DDR-800 kit work, or is there something else I have to look at?

Thanks...

Theoretically any 4GB kit would work, If you want to be 100% sure you use ram from the memory support list (in your link)

Any DDR2 800 kit should work, but I recommend that you buy a kit that works well at 1.8v.

Thanks!

I'm looking to hop over and buy locally. Anything to look at or avoid here?

I would go with these CL5 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0274412

Thanks!

Will I need to change anything in the BIOS, or will it just "know" about the voltage?

 

[rolli59]

Normally it will default to 1.8 volts

Thanks rolli. I just added my new RAM and it works like a charm!
