M2N68-LA (NARRA6) MOBO Question! If you don't know if it supports 8GB ram read this!!

[popeyetyty]

**TO ALL THOSE WONDERING IF THE M2N68-LA (NARRA6) REV:102 (LOOK ON THE MOBO ITSELF IT WILL SHOW THAT IF IT DON'T ITS NOT A NARRA6 MOBO) CAN OR WILL SUPPORT 8GB DDR3 RAM**

So I recently got Kingston HyperX Fury 2 x 4GB ram sticks for my M2N68-LA (NARRA6), and I installed it and to all those wondering if it worked yes it worked, so if you have a M2N68-LA (NARRA6) then you can get 8GB of DDR3 Ram and it will work!!

How did you get them to fit? My M2N68-LA (NARRA6) has two DDR2 channels.

sorry for the late response but this was the "correct" link to the M2N68-LA Narra6 mobo page before HP recently took it down in 2022 (specs of this one show DDR3 RAM instead of DDR2) - ("cached version" of the M2N68-LA Narra6 doc from Google)

Late is an understatement. Dredging up a thread from 6 years ago...
