can you fill all four RAM slots with DDR2 sticks? Also, can you link to QVL list for CPU and RAM? thanks..

You cannot use all slots for DDR2, as this board supports both DDR2 and DDR3. I believe the yellow slots are for DDR3 only. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GC-GS%20FX/?cat=Specifications check the link for compatibility listings.

It can support up to 64 gigs of ram my personal preference would be the fastest speed your motherboard supports. I went with GSkill and love their ram. Something like this 32GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHz Trident X Series CL10 (10-12-12-31) Quad Channel kit

no you can't use a ddr2 on a ddr ,However you probably will be able to use a 1gb ddr pc2700 like the one in picture .

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

You always have to install RAM in pairs, which is why they sell them in two packs. So there are 2 2-packs of 4 GB modules for 16 GB total

No, there is only room for 2 GB of ram. You will have to remove the 512 ram and replace them with 4 modules of 512 each. They need to be in matched pairs of memory modules.

Yes, it has 2 memory slots and can take DDR2 800 RAM up to 8GB (2GB x 2 or 4GB x 2). I have bought this motherboard and used it, working very well.

Absolutely. Your computer can handle DDR2 ram. Just slap these in and you will double your memory. To be exact it will use 3.25 of the 4 Gigs of memory.

I have to agree with Ty Green's answer; use search results for your mother board; if it truly supports only DDR2 memory, then the answer is no, it won't work...

There are (2) DDR3 SO-DIMM slots. Not sure on the limits per slot, but you should be fine at (2)x(8GB) SO-DIMM's for ~$90 extra. The default configuration is 4GB+2GB.

It has 4 ram slots but remember that it can only be used with a few very specific types of memory. Get the board and carefully look at the list of memory products that are certified to work with that particular mb.

It has 4 slots so you should be good. I'm running 2x4gb of 1866. It runs at 1600 but I'm told I can change that in the bios easily.

You need 2 sticks minimum in order to be able to run dual-channel mode, which will significantly increase the speed. So if you buy 1 of these packs of 2 then you will be fine. As mentioned, make sure your motherboard can accept this kind of RAM(240-pin, DDR3, 1600mhz).
