Will two 4gb units work as a 8gb kit or do i have to get a specific kit?

There are two slots, one for each of two memory cards. If you install a 4gb unit in each slot, you end up with 8gb of memory, and you don't need anything extra for it to work.

Yes you can use it but trying to add it to the existing 8GB on there might cause problems, that memory is 8GB 1600Mhz and this is a 8GB of 1866Mhz its not good mixing memory

I've used a 4GB with no problems... I don't know if it would take a higher one or not. Hope that helps?

Hi, this comes with 2 slots filled with a 2GB stick in each. It says max 4GB because that's all we tested/certified it for; however it should be able to run with 8gb without issue. Though two 4GB sticks of RAM will definitely set you back a few dollars.

"Kit" just means they are tested and sold as a set of 2 sticks. As long as your motherboard supports 4x4GB sticks of DDR3 1600 then you should have no issues.

You can't purchase two kits and make them work as one.. The memory modules must be made at exact same time in exact conditions.. If the kits says it's dual core then it's dual core if the kit says it's for quad core it's for quad core you can't mix-and-match or combine

I believe that the 2-16gb capacity option means per kit, as opposed to total possible. You should be able to run as many of these as you have slots if your motherboard can support the total amount. According to the ASRock website, your motherboard supports up to dual channel and up to 32gb of ram, so you should be able to run four of these just fine.

There are 4 total slots with max 8gb per slot. The total maximum is 32gb. Depending on exact model, 2 slots are filled with 2x 8gb sticks, 1x 8gb 1x 4gb, or 2x 4gb sticks. The top models come with all 4 slots filled 4x8gb sticks and 32gb total. The lower models "should" come with 2x 4gb sticks (allowing dual channel), but they 'might' come with a single 8gb stick.

2GB onboard (Motherboard) + 2GB degradable to another 8gb total 2+8 = 10 GB. Go to crucial.com

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

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

I think every person looks for the best price at the time of purchase. If you found a better deal on a single 8GB then I say go for it. No kit or nothing special about the 2x8GB.

It is best to pair matching memory. So you'll want to buy another 4gb stick if that's what you currently have. Make sure the frequency is the same too, the majority will be 1600MHz. If you want to be sure you'll need to look up manufacturers specs online for look on your existing memory or it might be on the memory itself. Hope that helps.

you can use a single 8 gb without problem, but you should know that its the top of memory capability...

Hello a kit mean comes with 2 8gb totaling 16gbs. If you have 4 slots you can go up to 4 8gb's totaling 32gbs. You need to have widows 7 64 bits to be able to use all 32gbs. You only need that much ram if you are doing video or heavy photoshop work. Also if you do autocad then you would use that much. If only doing games, e-mails normal things then 8gb's is more than enough. The Crucial sticks I got are working very well. Hope this helps.

I first said I don't know but I would suggest you contact ASUS for a positive Answer, I did use two Memory Sticks for the 8GIOG total.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks
