Maximum PC

Hi guys, I need more RAM do to editing software (plug-ins). What type of RAM should I get?

Operation System:
Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1

CHIPSET:
Rampage Formula
X48

Processor:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
Socket 775 LGA

Current Ram:
DDR2 Kingston 1066 Native(PC3-6400 "800Mhz") 4GB

you can do what I did, go on ebay and check for ram that is the same as what you have in there already. my problem was that I had OCZ memory which had quit making ram so I had to buy used, problem was it was high end memory, and it took a month to find a pair of sticks that matched my timing. should be cheaper than buying new or having to buy 8gig of matched. I am assuming that you have 2 sticks of 2gig now. it should be pc2 6400 though.

or see if you can match it here with new memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%2050001183%20600006042&IsNodeId=1&name=Kingston%20Technology%20Corp.

Seems like it might be cheaper to just get this:

Not sure if it w
ould work with my chip set though. I went to Intel x48 specs and it seems that it would work. Any suggestions?

No, your motherboard only supports DDR2.

and most 775 boards only support 8gig max, and do not support 4gig sticks.
