Hi yes that is the correct spec ram for the motherboard, but I wouldn't buy cheap brands of ram. Go for brands such as OCZ, Corsair, G-Skill etc. Well known brands. Also buy a dual channel kit as your board supports dual channel configuration. dual channel will make a big difference as the cpu can request x2 the amount of bandwidth than single channel.
yes, bobby is right. it is correct ram for the motherboard which is told by you. But the memory is not good brand. Please buy the memory of OCZ, Corsair, Kingston, Geil ..... These branded memory ram are good in performance.
How's this look, right now he has about $30 and that's it, my 10 yr old son bought the pc with lcd monitor, 180gb hd, speakers, mouse keyboard for $125, he only has $30 of his birthday money left.

okay, i put the ram in but it's only recognizing 1 gig and single channel. how do i get that mobo to recognize both sticks and as dual channel? thanks! edit: also, the 2 sticks i pulled out, thinking it was 2 sticks of 256 were actually 2 sticks of 512, it was only recognizing one of those too
i'm not sure which one to use.... http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2507
can i just write the bios update to cd and boot from it? kind of new to this sort of thing edit: it's not recognizing any ram in slot #1
seems like you run it from windows. just run the .exe make sure all firewalls and antivirus are disabled. once flashed your system will post just make sure you load bios defaults. and then check to see if it's detected your ram.
can you recommend a better (but inexpensive) motherboard to replace the one it has? it has an amd athlon 64 3000+ chip installed and the ram i purchased i would also like to use in the new one.
no matter which ram stick i put in slot #1, it won't recognize any, seems like the motherboard is shot. can you tell me what one i can use to replace it?
even when your stick your old ram back in it still won't detect it? and the bios update didnt work either?
yea the dimm is buggered. the controller is fine because it obviously posts. It's up to you, you can run it on single channel or upgrade to a new motherboard?
Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 770 Socket AM2+ 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard - Ebuyer this board will work fine. dual channel as well so it will handle the new G-Skill ram you bought. 6 phase power, think it's got lower rds on mosfets. onboard raid as well which is a good for the money, not sure how much that board will cost you in america but should be about $60?
I would like to get something with on board video for now so he can save up for a new vid card, would this one be ok? Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR RS780G AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards thanks for all your help!
Newegg.com - Foxconn A7GM-S 2.0 AM2+ / AM3 Ready AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards I would go for that board the other board you posted I've never heard of the brand before should always go for a well known brand. It also has pci-express x16 2.0 slot 4gb/s bus speed so when you upgrade your graphics card it will have the highest bus frequency available. 5 phase power, not a bad board
