Hi, I have recently just purchased a new motherboard and I am wondering about RAM compatability. At the moment my motherboard accepts DDR PC2700 and DDR PC3200. I have a 512mb and a 256mb card. The new motherboard I am getting is the ASUS A8N motherboard with dual graphics slots and 4gb ram capacity. What I wanted to know is, if my RAM types DDR PC2700 and DDR PC3200 would be compatable with my new motherboard or if I would have to buy entirely new RAM :s .

I was hoping there might be a website out there somewhere that lists the RAM compatability with motherboard types, I tried looking on the ASUS website but there wasnt that kind of information about the product

thank youthere is GX1_man knows it rob might too.. they should reply sometime soonI have Asus A8N-E board and I have DDR400 and DDR333 working together. Not sure about their PC equivilence. BASICALLY there is only one way to find out. Pay particular ATTENTION to the manual about which slots to put the memory in.Crucial.com...i told you some one would give you a site.. i just couldnt remember itAll the info you need is right there...(your not seeing it*)

I just bought the A8N-VM (76.99) @ newegg with a AMD Athlon 3500+
(91.00)

It seems all their mobo's are DDR 400 rated with (PC3200) RAM **use the same type of ram on your mobo**

I'm sure there are like 4 OTHERS besides the 3200 u could use, but I wouldn't..
hope this helps 8-)yeh it does HELP thx. I baught the amd athlon 3700+ to go with it. I have another little question, when put the new processor on my motherboard do I have to use special thermal glue to seal it on? because im sure I have read this somewhereThe thermal paste (a small amount) goes between the CPU and the heat sink UNLESS it comes with a thermal pad. Do not use both.

Please research this carefully before you ruin a processor.
