Memory compatibility mb

[Mihai59]

Hey guys, im thinking about upgrading the memory on my sistem and i have some issues..

My mb is ASRock G41M-S3, i currently have a 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz stick of memory on it and i would like to add another stick of 4GB DDR3 but on 1600 Mhz.

Would that be compatible ?

If u wonder why i want to add a 1600 Mhz stick on a 1333mhz mb is that in the near future i will actualy upgrade the mb to a 1600mhz compatible one and i want to already have a stick of memory available when that happens so i can switch it between the motherboards.

Hello... using 1600 memory at 1333 is not a problem... some older DDR3 MB's need SS or DS memory sticks... can your post your current stick model/brand/numbers for us and see if we can try and match it the best we can? B /

Post a digital to save some time?

Hello... THX... it looks like there is plenty of exact types on-line http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Shipping-KINGMAX-4GB-DDR3-1333MHz-Desktop-Memory-RAM-2R-x-8-FLFF65F-C8KL9-/181886241026... They look like the older DDR3 16 chip DS sticks. Those numbers didn't bring any additional information from the KINGMAX site. B /

Are you going to purchase another KingMax stick?

Ty for answering, i couldn't find any kingmax memory but i was looking at a Samsung one, Nanya or Hynix.
So i should try to keep away from the one sided memory since it will probably not be compatible with my MB, right ?

Hello... I would recommend going with a match ( same thing ) with your current MB. B / DDR3 is just a "card factor" and what gets put on them can vary.

The intel 60, 70, 80 chipset series will use "High density" memory chips on the DDR3 card.
