Title: Memory upgrade for GA-MA78LMT-S2
Post by: Doomkiller on October 16, 2012, 04:46:43 am

Hey all,

I have a gigabyte motherboard GA-MA78LMT-S2 coupled with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 currently running on a Windows 7 32 bit, but will be upgrading that to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit soon

I was just wondering if these 2 memory ram chip sets were compatible with this motherboard, as it currently runs fine and don't want to upgrade it just yet

Anyway the 2 memory chip sets are:

Also, if they are not compatible, what memory ram chip sets are? I have 4gb at the moment and want to upgrade to 16gb, or 8 gb if that is all it can handle

One last question, what graphics cards is my motherboard compatible with? Im currently looking at this:

thank you

The maximum your board can handle is 8 gigs so neither of those will work and as for upgrading to windows 7 you have till about oct 26th for that is when windows releases windows 8 and when that happens they work pretty fast to pull and old operating systems off the shelves to force you to buy the newest one.

As for what you can upgrade to gskill, corsair either one will work as long as you only use the max of 8 gigs total.

Yes that video card should work it is pci-e 3.0 but they are backward compatiable with a pci-e 2.0 board.
