M/b Ram compatability

[Ron_1_]

I have a Gigabyte G41m ES2H motherboard and according to the website, Samsung M378T5263AZ3-CF7 memory is compatible with my board but there are some 4gb sticks on ebay with this number and the advert says they are only for an AMD board. I dont want to buy them if they dont work but does anyone know if they will work oronn my intel based board. Thanks in advance,

Looks like generic Samsung memory. As such, it should be fine in your system. I looked at several sites and none said AMD only.

As far as I am aware the RAM will work on both AMD and Intel boards. I checked your mobo spec and it will take up 8 GB (2 x 4GB) of DDR2 800 MHz and can be OC to 1000MHz.

The Ram you posted should work on your mobo. You probably know this but if you have a 32 bit OS it will only use 4GB of the RAM so no point in having 8GB.

Quite often on ebay if the DRAM came out of a AMD rig some people will post it as AMD only
