As far as memory is whats been said above, but I can not find mem support list overview yet. http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWebSite/Support/CPU_Support_Model.aspx?detailid=407&MenuID=69&LanID=0 Fastest what I see quick is a 6000+ but it didn't impress me and changed to Intel and sended the stuff back (motherboard and cpu).

Is this the same as yours ? but OCZ have a model called AMD if yes just get the same, OCZ is good enough. if u really need more ram. but u have 2G its not like u need a lot more just for cod. maybe a better cpu, yea, but then u'll have to change your mobo too. i have that amd 6000+, served me well for 4 years, but im gona get an i7 anytime soon.

The timings sould be the same for both sticks. When ever I buy ram its always a matched set. It may work at first but bound to give you a head ake later.

They should be matched pairs and it will work much better. Like Wiz said, you might get by for a while if they aren't matched but you will have trouble sooner or later.

Before my Patriot 8Gb came in(Dread style!) I was running for over 2 years with different brands. Not only that the cas Latencies were different and voltages they needed. See I had 2x Crucial CT12864AA80E(db9) at 800Mhz and voltages needed was: 1.8 Volts at 5-5-5-12 2x Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 G at 800 Mhz and voltages needed was : 2.1 Volts at 4-4-4-12 See those were my QVL Memory supported sticks I was using and at my computer BIOS I gave them : 5-5-5-18 at 1.9 Volts. First boot and testing it was 'memtest' past(several open) and no problem after 24hrs running. Just remember and I dont want to go a way back in the past: Socket A motherboard you could switch from 100/133 to 133/133 if the CPU and the memory supported 133Mhz. Just my 2 cents With respect and an example of my Patriot and check voltages section: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
