Ram compatiability on Mobo

[lnblcf]

Hi guys i have a mobo Asus P7P55D-E (a 3-4 years ago mobo) and i would like to upgrade my ram, but i'm not sure if he newer rams are compaitable with my mobo. Any idea how to know if a ram is compaitable with a mobo? Am currently looking at Gskill 1600MHz DDR3 8GB Ram.My old ram is 4 GB and DDR3 as well.

As long as it is DDR3 it should work.

There is a slight chance of incompatibility issue.

If the ram is ddr3, it will work on a ddr3 capable board. One thing though, if you want, you can go to the brands website, search the board model, then look for a link for the supported memory & hope this will help you clear your doubt...

Intel 5 series with Nehalem all run on DDR3.

Play safe buy Crucial DDR3-1600 CL11 8GB. Best compatibility along with Kingston and G.Skill.

That's why I said should mah

Other than that TS should also check that this board supports the frequency of the RAM he buys lor.

Dun be n00b like me last time, hoot 2133MHz RAM but the board only support up to 1600MHz only

That will depend on what you have now and going to mix with the new ram.
