Hey all. I have the current hardware:
CPU: Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz Kensington quad core processer 775
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R rev 2.0
Graphics Card: NVIDIA 8800GT 512MB
Sound Card: SoundBlaster
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 (2 sticks at 1MB each for a total of 2GB)
My question is that I would like to upgrade the RAM. The motherboard supports either 4 sticks of DDR2, or 2 sticks of DDR3. DDR3 seems fairly cheap now but im not sure what would actually work with my motherboard/CPU combination. I have Windows Vista on a 64 bit platform, and I belive the maximum it (the motherboard) can handle is 4MB of DDR3. Has anyone actually tried DDR3 with this motherboard (p35 chipset) and CPU combination. I have a good friend who does some pretty high level Rand D for a major manufacturer and he basically said he doesnt know if it would actually work, and to find someone who has actually plugged in specific RAM before buying. Thanks.
