I have been wanting to upgrade my RAM for a while now, and I was wondering if my MOBO and CPU would be compatible with this RAM:
CPU: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/processors/desktop/athlon-cpu MOBO: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1356
RAM: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9b
This is my current RAM: http://www.memory4less.com/m4l_itemdetail.aspx?itemid=1469733559
Obviously long in need of an upgrade.
I bought a 1x8 GB stick from PNY:

and it didn't work, so I exchanged it for another one thinking it was DOA and that one didn't work either, I tried them both in two different computers.
Could it just be I made a silly mistake and they are not compatible or was I unlucky enough to get two DOAs right after each other?
