I want to upgrade my RAM
because of the newer games.

Where do i have to look for?
like:
Does it matter if I buy DDR2 or DDR3?
Does it fit with my Motherboard?

I want to upgrade to 8GB RAM
and try to stay under US$121,- = €90,-
But if it is a really good brand I'm able to pay more.

My PC specs:
OS: windows 7 64- bit
CPU: Intel Core I5 2320 3Ghz
RAM: 4 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 498MHz Kingston HyperX
Motherboard: ASRock H61M-S
GPU: GTX 660 SC (2GB) EVGA
HDD: 932GB Seagate (SATA)

if you have any recommendations, please post.

Thanks,

But does it fit in my motherboard?
it says: ''Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1600''
does that mean only 1600?
or is that not important information?

oke thanks for fast reply.
so almost every RAM stick is compatible?
but why are there 4 rows on the motherboard and you only put 2 in?
