how much ram should I get for this

8 gigs will run pretty much watever a normal person would do. You can probably even get away with 4 if you dont plan to do anything intense.

I agree, definitely at least 8 GB especially if you are gaming. Buying more than that gets expensive.My son got 8 and it has done great for him.

Depend on your usual works. For internet, 4GB ram is enough. If you need more than that, 8 GB is good. I recommand 4GB+4GB (total 8GB) for dual channel on this board. FYI, same type rams must be used for proper dual channel working. (see board user Guide) If you want to have a fast system, you have to spend your dollar on SSD rather than RAM.

If you use it for internet, 4Gb is enough. However, for internet, the motherboard you are asking is an over spec. If considering the mother board, 8Gb is better than 4 G. One thing I recommend is that it is better to use SSD for better system works. Nowadays, SSD is getting cheaper.

Heres the catch, tomshardware and numerous other technology websites have done experiments on if 4GB ram made any performance difference from 8GB. Every test comes out having more than 4 (currently) does nothing to improve performance.

Depends on what you want to run. 8GB is plenty for high-end gaming at the moment.

I have 16GB @ 1600mhz and it runs very well. actually 8GB should be enough for gaming.

The short answer is as much as you can afford. Memory is the biggest slowdown of systems after the hard drive access times (which are not going to change anytime soon). 64GB would be 16GB sticks which are terribly expensive so it it were me, I'd stick with 8GB sticks for a total of 32GB until the 16s come down in price. Nowdays with poorly behaved programs (like Chrome) that takes as much memory as available, more is better.

i'd get as much as possible and take advantage of RAMdisk since it comes free.

The more ram that you have, the better; For just web browser users that have a lot of tabs and browsers open, that helps them a lot also, and will help them to stop complaining about slowness when surfing. 4 and 8gb of ram gets eaten up (used) quickly when you start having 10, 12, 15 tabs open, especially depending on what are in those tabs, Flash, etc.It is not good to skimp on ram for people who who don't close tabs, or just don't know computers; They tend to get more frustrated so giving them as much ram as possible helps reduce their stress and your stress.

8GB RAM is recommended for most APUs if you're planning to use the built in GPU. Make sure you have an FM2 socket motherboard with an A55, A75, A85 or A85X chipset. If your PC has those things, you should be good to go.

32GB assuming that you have windows 7 pro. Basic limits you on ram available.

Yes, your processor should be able to handle 2gb of RAM. You'll just need to remove your current stick and place this one inside the laptop.

You should not have problems with this motherboard, You need a medium case or bigger, a LGA 1150 processor, DDR3 RAM.

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

It depends on the RAM chipsets supported by your processor(core 2 duo/P4/i3/i5). Search about it online and i guess u will get better and faster (better frequency) options than this one. I had an old system so bought this as my only option.

It can take 8GB total..4GB per slot...Must Use a 64-bit operating system to see the full 8GB of ram.. Be sure you have a compatible CPU..it only takes 65 watt processors...Good Luck!!

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

This graphics card and your RAM is definitely enough, but you'll probably want to bump up to 3.8+ghz to have the game running smoothly, although I'm pretty sure you'll be able to run them on medium or low lettings without issue.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.

We send out upgraded Dell OptiPlex 780's and they can take 16GB of DDR3 RAM. Just make sure to email us after purchase so we make sure to put 64 bit on it so it will read more than 3.5GB. Thanks, Computer World

I play runescape and other games on it for 10 to 12 hours a day. If your going to play anything higher end I would suggest if you got it to put more ram in then 6gb otherwise I havent had too many issues with games. I do facebook, sims3, runescape, tera online, and a few other mmorpg games.

Your motherboard has to be compatible with 4GB Sticks of Ram Memory (Most are not, normally 2GB is max for simple desktop home systems (My system is a Server - Memory hogs!). As far as memory goes, the more the better especially if you do graphics. Hope this helps you! 4GB total will do you right normally!

2GB Ram standard. You can add 2GB more making it 4GB Total. The CPU is dual core Intel Atom.

just look on the web site for witch ram you need becouse ddr2 ram is the same on mac or pc

You can get two 4 GB sticks of memory instead. Here is the Amazon link. Good luck. Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)Willis (Bill) Van Gorder
