Alright im thinking of upgrading my motherboard for the SOLE reason to gain an extra ram SLOT as my current one has a broken one.

My Current Mobo is the MSI P965 Platinum mobo.

I need it to fit the criteria of my current loadout of

Cpu: Intel Core 2 QUAD Q9550
Ram: 4 Sticks PC2-6400 DDR2 800
GPU: Being able to fit in the case.

What is a good upgrade that isnt too expensive and can fit those criteria but isnt downgrading?My current mobo data from new egg

CPU Type=Socket 775
There's 6 pages, you choose.  Look for Ram=DDR2-800 compatible.

I know the Ram is DDR3 but im going to plan on puchasing that kind of RAM.

Does anyone know of any good deals of RAM meant for Gaming? Quote from: Bunbotman on December 06, 2010, 02:26:32 PM
