710337 2008-10-07 09:45:00 so DDR3 ram is out of the pitcure Blackandblue (14231)
710338 2008-10-07 09:47:00 Well up to you if you can find a mobo that supports it.

But like I said it may cost more than DDR2. And there' s nothing wrong with using DDR2

710341 2008-10-07 10:02:00 K thanks for your help. Ill look at some mobos tomorrow and post back if im stuck. Thanks Blackandblue (14231)
710342 2008-10-07 10:04:00 No probs

I see that supports up to 16 GB. Only thing is if you want that much ram, you'll need a 64 bit operating system, and 4 GB sticks will probably be costly

710343 2008-10-07 10:10:00 What would the max ram i would need. Its for gaming (probally latest games) and running a few programms in the back ground like msn for example.

I may also get vista

710344 2008-10-07 10:16:00 With a 32 bit system you can only get 4 GB. You could get 2x2 GB sticks.

(Well Windows will probably only see 3.25 - 3.5 GB of ram)

Which should be plenty. I'm using 4 GB here at the mo. BUT have stuff all games lol
