Current specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGIBOX
MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1866LV4GK, bumped up to 1333, 2T
I tried to upgrade to 8 gig using a second OCZ3G1866LV4GK kit, but it turned out to be full of errors and almost destroyed my Win7 install. Got fed up and returned the junk.
I noticed that NewEgg has this kit on sale: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Does anyone think there would be a problem using this kit in my PC? I would pull out the old OCZ RAM and save it for another PC. I tried to see if this RAM was tested on my motherboard, but their test sheet is old and not updated. The 2gig 12800CL9D-4GBECO modules were tested, but not the new 4gig ones.
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
George
