I am thinking about buying this memory : mushkin 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996593-REDLINE. Will this work with this Motherboard? : Model Brand GIGABYTE Model GA-EX38-DQ6 Supported CPU CPU Socket Type LGA 775 CPU Type Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium FSB 1600/1333MHz Chipsets North Bridge Intel X38 South Bridge Intel ICH9R Memory Number of Memory Slots 4×240pin Memory Standard DDR2 1200 Maximum Memory Supported 8GB Dual Channel Supported Yes Expansion Slots PCI Express 2.0 x16 2 PCI Express x1 3 PCI Slots 2 Storage Devices PATA 1 x ATA100 2 Dev.

yes the memory standard is DDR2 1200 so anything below that will be compatible with it. i would sugest getting 4x1gb dims then 2x2gb dimms, its faster that way. only go for the 2gb dimms if your planning on going above 4gb which is really not necessary ATM also some of the better manufactures are G.Skill patriot and corsair. i personally go for corsair
