Is it good idea to purchase two kits of it to work in quad channel?or this ram is recommended in dual channel only? thinking in possible upgrade later

Sure you can. Buy two of these kits it will work fine. These other answers are not correct. As long as the RAM is the same speed, it will all work fine. (25 years experience, Senior Engineer, A+ Certified since 1998, as well as MCSE, VMWare, working over 10 years in Fortune 100 enterprise, hundred million dollar+ data center/Server architect. Building high end gaming rigs is a passion of mine, and I've been buying Corsair ram for over 10 years. RAM is not made to a specific speed, it is made, with a specific design which will hit a range of speeds ie 2000Mhz - 2800Mhz ram is all made at the same foundry on the same line, and then the RAM is tested for what speed its stable at running. If you buy 2 of the same kits, it will have been tested to run on the specified speeds and work fine as Quad channel.

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

Hey I don't think it'll be a good idea to by this for quad channel. It'll stil work but one you upgrade later you'll have problem with memory speed as this is intended to use in dual channel config. Better you invest bit more n go for a qual channel ram. I have two kit of this dual channel ram and its damn freking super fast.

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOUFEG2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

I bought the Corsair Vengeance Blue standard profile 8GB two stick kit and it works fine even after pushing the speed up. I'm using the stock Intel cooler in a case with lots of room, so had no reason to get the low profile version. My first Gigabyte board had a bad memory channel (only the two slots furthest from the CPU worked), but Amazon replaced it quickly.

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

I tried going with 2400Mhz for that very same setup and it turns out that the RAM voltage on the sticks was too high for the CPU. I went with 1600 afterwards and everything is stable again.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

I use that ram on my this MB. I can confirm it works just fine. You just have to select the correct xmp profile to get it to run at 2400mhz

Yes this will work, because the memory slots A & B support up to 4GB per channel, and the motherboard has available 4 channels., which means it can be upgraded up to 16 GB.

From what I've read it should work and you can install two of these kits for a total of 8GB of ram which is the max for your board

The chipset on this pc forces that it have 4 slots. i am unaware of whether it is 1x8 or 2x4 2x4 would take advantage of the dual channel memory though

This Ram Was Not Tested By Intel for your Mother Board so I would Not Recommend Buying it because it may or may not work! your motherboard Supports only a Maximum of 8GB's Combined Ram so just these two sticks would max your memory out and it wont support any more so buying 16GB worth would be a waste of your money. the board supports only 1333Mhz native speed with an XMP Profile of 1600 but you would have to update your Bio's/UEFI on your Board before you can achieve the 1600Mhz Rated Speed. In short Terms your Motherboard is Too Dated for this Generation Ram the HyberBeast X Ram From Kingston is Designed for Current Generation Mother Board's. Your Mother Board is Dated back to 2008 and only a handful of Ram Chip's are Approved Tested By Intel for your Motherboard. Intel has a Complete list of Tested Supported Ram Here : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm and you can also see your system Specifications here as well : http://ark.intel.com/products/34683/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP45SG?wapkw=intel+boxdp45sg Do Note again that your System only Supports up to 8GB of ram even though your board supports 4 ram Slots the system will only recognize 8GB Combined. I hope This Help's you in your Decision! Best of luck! P.s. I Would Recommend Not Buying The Ram and Actually Updating your Motherboard. Technology Leap's Every year to Newer level's especially in the last 2 years; and thing's just aren't as compatible with older Generation technology from 5 years ago, quite a lot has changed. For the Price of this Ram you can almost buy a New Mother Board that support's your CPU which is a LGA775 Socket for an Intel Processor. it would be much more Cost Effective to rebuild your System or Get a already prebuilt System From Newegg than to upgrade the one you have now! you would get Better Performance and would save you A lot of Out of Pocket $$$ in the long run if you are using this Computer for Design or Gaming. Happy Holiday's! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Hi, any board that support 1600mhz+ and DDR3 Rams will be compatible with this sticks, i use a Asus M5A99FX Evo and it works like a charm with this Rams.

It can support up to 64 gigs of ram my personal preference would be the fastest speed your motherboard supports. I went with GSkill and love their ram. Something like this 32GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHz Trident X Series CL10 (10-12-12-31) Quad Channel kit

U can find all u need on ram Web site. Then see if it would be cheaper on amazon

Look at the owners manual or google the recommended install order. Some mainboards go side by side starting closest to CPU, others go skipping a space. I have not seen any that do outside then inside, but I wouldn't put it past them. If you do it wrong you won't get dual channel. As for the color coding, some use 1 color for each channel, others use 1 color for each pair. It is more common today to be 1 color for each pair (starting closest to CPU typically). Since it is different for different boards, as everybody has said, check the manual.

I'm amazed I understood your question..But yes, if your mother board has the two additional slots and you purchase the same RAM cards with the same timing and memory, it will work perfectly fine.
