Motherboard Manual

[Thijsvu]

I'm looking for the manual for my PC, so i can find how to order the RAM I'm going to buy for upgrading my pc. current specs:

It's a work pc, so it doesnt need high end gaming specs. i've thought about getting a new motherboard, processor and more ram. but then i also thought why not just start with the ram untill another component fails.

So here i am, in search of the manual for my motherboard. so i can assign the RAM chips.

With kind ragards,

Thijs

Hi,

There is no motherboard manual, but from the spec page you can see the types of RAM supported:

Hope it helps,

are those the only compatible options? or can i use other brands like kingston too?

if yes, there are 4 slots, and according to the link you gave, i can get up to 16gb ram, so any more then 4GB per stick is useless, right?

EDIT: okay, i learned that ddr3 doesnt fit in ddr2 slots, and vice-versa.

so i found another ddr2, 800mhz 240-pins stick: https://www.ram-geheugen.nl/product/samsung-2gb-ddr2-800mhz-6400/

 would this work? as these are slightly less expensive, so i do concider getting 2 of these and use them with the current 2x1gb sticks. for a total of 6GB

They can be of any brand, however they must be PC2-6400E DDR2-800.

What does PC2-6400E stand for tho?

thanks for helping out 🙂
