How Ram[Mhz] Will My Motherboard Support?

[Dhiren_K]

Motherboard - GA-78LMT-S2PT
Chipset - AMD 780G

I'am Already Using Two 2GB Ram Sticks!
I Wanted To Upgrade It To One 8GB Stick!

Just Confirming That Will My Motherboard Support Any One Of These?

1.Kingston FURY Memory - 8GB Module - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM

2.Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

**Don't Know How Much Mhz[1300/1600/1866] Supports My Motherboard.**

This is right off the manufacturers website.

You probably want to go with a dual channel kit and get two 4gb sticks.

So,Instead one Stick I Have To go With Two 4GB Sticks! That's All Right!

But How Much Mhz Sholud I Get?? 1866 or 1600 or 1333 or 1066?????



Will These Go With The Configuration - Corsair CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 Vengeance 4GB Single Module DDR3 Memory Kit
**Why Can't I Go With One 8GB Stick?? Please Explain...Cuz I Didn't Get Properly What You Said!**

Here Is a take on how Dual Channel memory kinda works. I copied it from another topic-

With a dual channel system, one channel is always available for loading, refreshing, and housekeeping while the other channel is being read. The channels are read alternately, one being read into the buss while the other is being prepared for use, or being written to. What exactly happens is the pervue of the memory controller and it's firmware.

With single channel operation there is always something "waiting in line" while the memory is busy. This limits what operations can be performed, and those generating a "write" instruction have to wait their turn. This makes the buffer (onboard memory) more critical and works it harder.

This is why there isn't a lot of quad channel systems out there, 2 channels offers the time sharing advantage with a minimum of hardware and software to control it. More than 2 channels increase the time and effort put into controlling the process, with little or no improvement in final speed.

From the specifications of your board under memory - http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4129#sp

Support DDR3 for 1333+/1066/800 MHz memory modules

I Personally would go with something like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311

What revision of the mobo do you have and what CPU are you running - no need to even look at 1866 or higher if your CPU can't run it, and it's the CPU (specifically, the MC (memory controller) in the CPU that determines WHAT DRAM you can run
