Current motherboard? You should also consider 64 bit too.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan2;26070744]stopping me from... what? [/QUOTE] Getting the 64bit edition of whatever OS it is that you use.
[QUOTE=skynrdfan2;26071401]i dont understand this post - it looks like you contradicted yourself but i can't be sure. i have DDR2 RAM.[/QUOTE] Yes, you have DDR2, he is suggesting you upgrade to the motherboard that he selected and go with DDR3, which makes upgrading to a completely new system easier if you've already got DDR3.
is this ram: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277&cm_re=G.SKILL_Ripjaws_Series_4GB_%282_x_2GB%29_240-Pin_DDR3-_-20-231-277-_-Product[/url] compatible with this mobo: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128433&Tpk=GIGABYTE%20GA-EP45T-USB3P[/url] if not, is there any 4gb DDR3 RAM compatible with that board under like $60?
yeah it'll work
final check- does that ram/mobo combo look good? i just don't want to waste money :saddowns: [editline]26th November 2010[/editline] hnnng are we sure that RAM is compatible with the mobo? the mobo lists the memory starded as 2200, but the ram is 1600. sorry for having a heart attack but for some reason im freaking out about this purchase
help bump [editline]26th November 2010[/editline] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231274[/url] i was recommended getting this instead of the cheaper one
the $50 set is faster so I have no idea why
Don't cheap out on your motherboard, seriously. [editline]26th November 2010[/editline] And yeah, that motherboard will support your ram. [editline]26th November 2010[/editline] It's standard isn't 2200, that's if you have 2200 Mhz ram then you can overclock your motherboard so it will work, otherwise it would just go to standard, which is 800.

[editline]26th November 2010[/editline] ITT: Ugly ass motherboards. :saddowns:
so go with the cheaper RAM?
[QUOTE=itsDivine;26304282]Actually, 2gb of ram.[/QUOTE] 4GB - VRAM - other small amounts
[QUOTE=reapaninja;26308646]4GB - VRAM - other small amounts[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm just saying is RAM sticks alone with 32bit will only support 2gb, but other things like that can be added on.
