Ok I will check it before buying. So if it only was chips in one side it's a no-go for that mobo...

I'm gonna meet with the seller this week. How can I check if it was the memory chips on both sides or only one one ?

Are you fully sure about the ram having memory chips only in one side ?

It actually was 4 slots. 2 for DDR2 and 2 for DDR3 (Asus P5G41C-M LX)

Well I have 2 gb of DDR2 so I think it will be a bit of an upgrade. Also the mobo is for 1333 DDR3 but the 1600 ram should work fine right ?

Do you think it's worth it anyways ?

Hello, I was gonna buy some ram for my build and I found 8gb (2x4) of DDR3 HyperX Fury 1600mhz for 20 euros. I think 20 euros is extremely low for that type of ram and it might be a fake. Do you know any form of checking for a fake ram stick ? Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone for the help and replies. Maybe I will post the full build for fun if there's a website section for it. Thanks again and have a great day.

I paid 20 for the mobo and 5 for the chip (old ram was free)

Well I built this for retro gaming (and a bit for fun) because I do have my main rig (i7-6700k 16gb DDR4 GTX 1060.....)

P5G41C-M LX I think it's this one

Well.... Too late. I knew it sucked but I tought for 40 bucks it was worth it. Nvm. At least it wasn't a bad exprience for my first build.

My mobo does support DDR3 too. But my budget doesn't allow for it. I tought it was great idea doing a q6600 build (for emulation and web browsing) from almost scratch but it turns out it actually sucks and I wasted money. Every thing was working great until the PSU killed my old mobo and I needed to replace both...

Well after looking on Ebay/Aliexpress and making sure it wasn't ECC I found a lot of listings for 6 or 7 EUR
