help please amd motherboard

[paul55555]

my computer is getting an upgrade mainly ssd and I wanted to upgrade the ram but have a problem as I only found out it had 4 gb currently has 2 sticks of kingston ram 240pin very narrow ram.

2x kvr8000d2n6/2g its like a squished sort of ram as its only about 18mm high any way I went to ebay and some Chinese guy was selling the ram but he said it wont work for my motherboard and directed me to some other ram and it was like over $200.

Here is the asustek website info on the ram it takes. x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR2 1200(O.C.)/1066*/800/667 ECC,Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
*We recommend that you install the DDR2 1200 memory modules on the yellow slots for better performance.
*Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1200(O.C.)/1066 is supported by AM3/AM2+ CPU for one DIMM per channel only.
*Refer to www.asus.com for the memory QVL (Qualified Vendors List)

The thing that is confusing me is the ram suggested looks alot taller than my ram. The ram chips on my ram looks square while the one pictured looks like a rectangle. I also am confused by the term PC2-6400 as above asus makes no reference to pc2-6400. Also finding DDR2 1200 seems impossible can any one help?

Here is the link sent to me by the chinese company. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171934273699

This was the ram I was going to buy but the chinese seller said this ram will not work I am still unsure as the picture of the ram looks simular to the size of the chip on my current ram. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung-16GB-4x4GB-PC2-6400-DDR2-800MHZ-240pin-For-AMD-Desktop-Memory-RAM-/171735459043?hash=item27fc3b24e3

ebay item is 171934273699 just in case the link gets removed.

any way my mother board is an asustek m4a785-m my processor is an amd athlon tm IIx4 635

I want to get the ram needed to max it out to 16gb but dont wana spent a fortune to do so. please let me know what you think thanks paul.

I have the exact same little motherboard. It's an old favorite so I keep it in one of my spare machines. I LOVE that little board.

I wouldn't even worry about the DDR 1200 unless you're overclocking and what would be the point? lol...There's all kinds of great RAM deals that will work. CHEAP - you don't have to spend a lot of money to make that little board fly.

That ram you were going to buy from the chinese seller WILL work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung-16GB-4x4GB-PC2-6400-DDR2-800MHZ-240pin-For-AMD-Desktop-Memory-RAM-/171735459043?hash=item27fc3b24e3

It looks like he's had a lot of problems with Intel users accidentally buying the ram. Maybe he didn't understand that you have a compatible board & processor? Dunno...but that looks right to me. So does this one...

Any seller that directed you to $200 worth of RAM is suspect...lol There's so much DDR2 floating around, it's ridiculous. Pick another seller but you're in the right ballpark (Under $50).

thanks for the reply. I did email him my motherboard number he told me it would not work. some thing about the voltage being different but after my own research I thought $200 was a joke i found another seller doing it for $20 4x4gb its only the 800mhz one but it should do. combined with ssd it should be right up their
