It does support windows 7? If so, i'm planning to use windows 7-32 bits version. it's compatible with ddr2 RAM? (2 x 2 GB)

Yes it supports windows 7 that's what am using but 64 bits instead and if your going to spend the money and buy this motherboard i would go with a better ram something like Corsair ddr3 2000mhz 8gb if not your system will be slow but that also depends on your processor speed as well.

yes, its compatible with win 7 32 and 64 bit...use min 4 gb ram, 8 gb is even better, system 7 can use it...64 is recommended for better performance, most apps not all can run in win 7 64 bit..thats what I am using now

RAM compatibility is dependent on the motherboard. As long as your motherboard supports DDR2, non-ECC, this will work. The only play the OS has on RAM is that 32bit Windows can ONLY run a max of 4GB of RAM. Putting more than that in won't hurt it, but it won't help at all.

I know that it's only compatible with 32 bit Windows, not 64. I have not yet tried it with Windows 7, but I hope this helps some people.

On the disc that comes with it, it says it's supported. I am using windows 8 64-bit. If you still are not sure check out their website.

Yes, it is a DDR card (possibly DDR2) and we are running windows 7 home premium, 32 bit, and it works great!

I have Windows 7 on it and it works just fine... Although I don't know how it handles on a day to day basis, I use mine as a Torrent Downloader and nothing else... Install was a breeze via USB THUMB DRIVE

It supports the processor, I would recommend making sure to apply new BIOS updates after install for best compatibility and performance though. The compatibility I talk about it between it and RAM. It does improve performance.

I had one of these and 2gb was the most it can handle. It came with 1 and I upgraded to 2. I used Windows XP and it was designed to use XP , XP professional or Vista. I am not so sure it has the processor speed or ram to use windows 7,,buy the time 7 came out these were pretty obsolete. Good machine though.

You, Sir, are awesome! This AO522 will accept a 4GB DDR3 DIMM and with N Tan's x64 driver package you can install Windows 7 Pro (or even Ultimate) x64!! Amazing performance from then on!

32 gb ram memory is supported.... 4 x 1.5v ddr3 dimm support up to 32 gb memory... on gigabyte motherboard ga-990fxa-ud7

I believe it can hold two 2 gigabyte sticks for a total of 4 gigabytes. It can probably hold two 4 gigabyte sticks for a total of 8 gigabytes but the BIOS will not recognize it. In fact it may not allow your system to boot at all. Stick to a maximum of 4 gigabytes total. In order for Windows to recognize all 4 gigabytes you must run a 64 bit operating system. A 32 bit system will not utilize all 4 gigabytes of RAM so you will be wasting your money. If you are running a Linux OS it will not matter, you can run a 32 bit version and still be able to utilize all the RAM.

Yes, I have Win7 installed. I did upgrade the memory to I believe 6gb, but you could probably install with just 1gb. It would run slower, though.

Check the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List on the Microsoft Website. I've only tested and used this video card under Ubuntu Linux (64-bit server edition) and it works great. I am not sure if it will work under Windows 7 and on your hardware.

Aside from the 2GB limitation, others have reported great success running Win 7 with just 2GB, and some have even reported running it on 1 GB, thought I'd recommend upgrading to 2 GB.

2 GBs is the recommended minimum. I upgraded to Win 7 from XP, but I had 4 GBs memory. Works fine.

I had to go look that model up and found it is a dual core pc with Windows 7. Most of those are shipped with four gig of either DDR2 or DDR3 RAM. This is the original DDR RAM and will not fit. If you don't know what type of RAM you have and it isn't on the pc cover, do a search for a handy little program named "Speccy." It will tell you all kinds of things about your computer including what type of RAM you need!

I see no problem with that. It is my plan to max out my slots with 32gb as well. I was a windows 7 man myself, listened to all the haters. When I finally did switch to win 8 pro 64 bit. I was very pleased. The architecture of win 8 requires less ram to run. There was a noticeable difference when I made the switch. Something to chew on. Happy building!
