Hey,
This is my motherboard: GA-G41MT-S2PT (rev 1.1)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3972#sp
It has dual channel memory architecture.
Support for DDR3 1333 (O.C.)/1066/800 MHz memory modules.
It has 2 slots, right now I have 2x2GB(4GB total) Kingston DDR3 1333MHz KVR1333D3S8N9/2G
I wanted to upgrade to 2 sticks 4 GB each (8GB total, this is the max my mobo can handle).
does my mobo even supports 2x4GB?
This motherboard is very limited.
I've also heard that 1600mhz can work, I don't really know.
I don't really care for mhz, 1600/1333/... whatever.
How can I know what RAM is compatible?
Can anyone tell me what RAM can I use? specific model name would be great!
p.s
Someone told me that a RAM with chips (black squares) from both sides like kingston HYPERX should work.
EDIT: I have here 2 sticks of Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 DDR3 4GB 1600mhz 1.5v.
they are not working, I turn on the computer and no monitor reaction, black screen for 30 secs and the computer resets itself and so on. Is this RAM should be compatible?
EDIT2: My MOBO needs Dual Rank memory to support 4GB sticks.
