I am looking around for new RAM and really like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

which is obviously the 8GB version. i looked on the QVL for my motherboard (ASRock H77M) but could not find the 8GB version. i did however find this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231427

which is basically the same RAM but just has 4GB instead of 8GB. i found this RAM on the QVL list.

im wondering if this makes a difference or if i can run the 4GB version i can run the 8GB version without problems. will the 8GB version not run with my motherboard? btw my motherboard has a max of 16GB if that helps.

You will be able to run the different sized RAM dims, just make sure that you run them at the same speed or frequency. You can change this in the BIOS. They will probably come stock with the same speeds so it might not be a problem.

Hope this helps!
