How many DDR2 RAM sticks can I put in ?

[James_430]

Hi all,

I have got a gigabyte motherboard (GA-945P-S3) which has 4x DDR2 slots. I know that there are DDR2 cards that go up to 4GB per card.

I would like to put a 2GB DDR2 card in each slot to make 8GB but the outdated spec sheet says max 4GB. Is that per slot, or overall?

Would I still be able to put 2GB DDR2s in those slots and would they work ?

Many thanks in advance,
James

4 DDR II DIMM memory slots (supports up to 4GB memory) Meaning 4GB total. You can put 1GB into each slot or 2GB into each yellow RAM slot. As for type, your MB specifications state "Supports dual channel DDR II 667/533/400 DIMM" so you can probably find something on eBay like DDR2-400 or perhaps DDR2-667 at a reasonable price.
