NIKORR, the mother board is a perfect match, but i have a question that I hope you can help me to understand. In your answer you said that I needed DDR, but the stick of ram that was shown below with the comment that this would do, was listed as DDR SDRAM. I had been told that those were 2 different types of ram, and would't interchange. whether I had been told right or wrong doesn't matter to me as much as understanding what the difference is. I am probably way over my head, but if you can clear away even a little of the fog, it would be appreciated. Thanks Dan.
