Solution
That Gigabyte 880G mobo
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3412#sp
uses DDR3 DIMM sockets (240 pin) for RAM so is incompatible with
1.Kingston 4 GB : 2 x 2 GB Memory - SO DIMM 204-pin - 1066 MHz ( PC3-8500 ) $58


which would typically be for laptops/certain itx mobos ^^
