Im planning to build my new computer soon at canadacomputers and i have a problem.

Im not sure if this RAM: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=018764&cid=RAM.346.307

is compatible with this Motherboard: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=016268&cid=MB.350

I've confident about everything except for this section in the memory bar for the motherboard

"Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL (Qualify Vendor List)"

confirm to me if the RAM is compatible with the motherboard

thx

For example, this motherboard

If you scroll down to the specs there should be something in the memory section saying:

When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.

On an average AMD motherboard, this message would most likely not be there. For example:

An AMD motherboard would have Window 64-bit operation system which would support 3GB of RAM or more.

I couldn't be bothered to convert your funny dollars into our dollars. But I'd ditch the Phenom, get a much better Intel Q6600. Then get an Asus P45 model motherboard for it.WDT-BlackKat

Im not sure what my budget is so ill try to keep it down a little.... BTW i did not choose the mobo yet.
