I have an pretty old setup and am currently looking to upgrade the memory. I wanted to know if the memory listed at the bottom would work on my rig. A lot of the reviews talk about servers so I am concerned that this would not fit on my mobo

Current Setup
AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz CPU
GIGABYTE GA-MA785G-UD3H ATX AMD Motherboard
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4890 100269HDMI Video Card
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Power Supply Unit
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Computer Case
No Cooling (except built in case fans)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive


Here is the Mobo info from newegg
Number of Memory Slots
4×240pin
Memory Standard DDR2 1333(O.C.) / 1066 / 800
Maximum Memory Supported 16GB
Channel Supported Dual Channel

So will the below memory work with my current setup?

Just looking for a cheap memory upgrade for 6 months or so after which I plan to build an entirely new pc
 
@hojnikb It won't work because...? I am pretty much a noob to computer hardware so I would appreciate any education 🙂

Becase ur mobo only takes non buffered, non ecc ram, which the ram in the link is neither.

OK cool thanks for the info. Going to keep that in mind during shopping


Awesome, Thats what I was looking for! Thanks a lot.


Man I am tempted to go for the safe bet with crucial but those prices!!! I think I am going to go cheap with the amazon link @DominionSeraph posted. This upgrade is mostly just to float me for another 6 months
