Hello small question

[Kudzė]

Hello so i want to put 8gb of ram in my system (2x4gb) I have this motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM.

 

Under memory in theirs website it says this:

Memory

2 x DIMM, Max. 4 GB, DDR2 1066(O.C.)/800/667 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
*Overclock speed 
**Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL (Qualify Vendor List) 
***When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, WindowsR 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.

But I'm not sure they mean 4gb in total or 4gb per stick?

First of all, did you make sure to buy ddr2 instead of ddr3 memory?

Yeah mate. I'm not that dumb.They wouldn't even fit xd.

 

And I didn't bought them yet but I'm thinkink aboout these:  CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 4GB 800MHz

Total I think. Other wise it wouldn't recommend max 3GB

[brodieslee]

alright, it looks like you can only put 4gb of memory into that board. the chipset that it is using only supports 4gb of ram

I'm sure they don't mean 4GB in total because.. why would they? My brother's also still got DDR2 and he's got 6GB of RAM so it should work.. Also: Make sure you've got a 64-bit OS, because 32-bit has a limit of 4GB.

I think max 4GB per DIMM, but the amount of memory it says it supports is normally lower than what it actually will run on.

2GB DDR2 sticks are rather pricey though, and rare.

Yeah I just installed 64 bits of Windows 10 inside it. And inside website they say this:  When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more

Right, I've done some googleing and judging by the forums it's max 4GB. Sorry.

Well, couldn't you just try to install those 6 gigs on the other board? (If they're not all 2GB sticks :D)

[Bananasplit_00]

motherboard only supports 4GB of total system memory, FSB limitation or something, not too hot on older hardware even tho i have loads  anyway you will not be able to have more then 4GB of RAM it seems
