Memory for GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2P

[T-Raw]

Hi, I have a GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2P and I'm not quite sure what kind of DDR3 memory I should get. I'm looking for around 8GB (2x4GB) or 4GB (2x2GB). I'm about to rebuild this old Q6600 for gaming purposes. Hope you guys can help me out on your best suggestion on a great DDR3 memory gaming for this motherboard.

I saw some of these that I like but not sure If they are compatible.

Which motherboard version do you have?

The gigabyte motherboard link shows (version 1.3) on the right of the page (Memory Support List)

Make sure you know your motherboard version. And go to the correct gigabyte motherboard page and look at the memory support list.

It's the version 1.3 or the revision 1.3. I saw that too but the memory support list doesn't show that much.

Okay you want to get a 2 sticks. The 8GB would suffice for you and the motherboard can only support up to 8GB of RAM.

The specs of the RAM should be 1.5V, DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500), 240-pin.

Your 2 links show DDR3 1333. I recommend 1066 because I do not want to mess with overclocking. Your motherboard supports 1333, but you'll need to raise some settings for it.

I see. But I don't think I would overclock the ram yet I'm still confused on how much ram I'll get 4GB or 8GB as you said 8GB would suffice for me. Sorry I'm noob at this stuff I'm looking forward to play BF3 and MW3 and this is my graphics card

Ram is essentially important the norm right now is between 4-12. 8GB Ram is more than sufficient for many people, especially if they open up a lot of programs.

What is your budget for getting Ram and a graphics card?

Well for the ram my budget is around $30-50

For the graphics card which I already have is this HD 6670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121442
