I want to max my computer memory to 16 GB, but need to know if I can use these ( H4x 4GB 240 PIN DDR2 PC2-5300F 667MHz CL5 ECC Fully Buffered FB-DIMM 16 GB With Heatspreaders) as I'm having problems finding affordable 4GB momery that isn't buffered.

 thank you for the help but the cost at that Britsh site is a little out of my budget as I'm not a businessman or running a business from my home even. the cost in dollars is well above 300 dollars for 8GB of ram and to max this computer out at 16 GB that's doubling the cost to over 600 which is way above my limited income, I bought this computer second hand from on ebay with only 2GB of ram to it. Its now got 6GB of ram. but the amount of programs I have running at one time its not enough.

 

Thank you for your suggestion and the link.
