Hello Forum members of Tom's Hardware I am building myself a new computer and I have run into a bit of a problem checking if my RAM is compatible with my motherboard so here are my motherboard. If it isn't compatible can you recommend some with the same performance that is compatible. Thanks in advance :D

Solution
DRAM and mobo are OK - big thing is to have a CPU that can carry 2400 else you are wasting money on 2400 sticks -best bet will be a K model CPU
