[SOLVED] DDR2 ram compatible or not

[KokaneJr]

I dont have much money to buy new hardware i am planning to upgrade ram i have dg41rq mobo i am going to purchase this ram -https://www.amazon.in/Memory-Module-Computer-Desktop-Transmission/dp/B08TTTQWJ3/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=ddr2+4gb+ram&qid=1618005471&sr=8-5

will it work on my mobo ?

It probably will not. The 4GB DDR2 modules were always tricky. I have at least 3x sets of these that never worked in their intended motherboard but worked in another. And that is if you can find them at a reasonable price.

Most of the times, the ram costs more than a complete motherboard, cpu, and 8GB memory combo that's actually more recent and much faster, like an older i3-2120 combo, which should be maximum $50 usd.

My suggestion would be to swap to a newer combo that uses a newer cpu and ddr3 as that will open up memory options (lga1156 or 1155 should be cheap and fast).

It will take some time, but you'll make it back in the time you save with a faster setup. You're welcome and good luck!
