Title: Question regarding the GA H55M-S2 Motherboard and RAM support
Post by: justEdd on May 16, 2016, 01:15:37 am

Hi, your gonna have to bare with me here as i know next to nothing about what goes into my gaming PC, ive currently got a Gigabyte Technology H55M-S2 Motherboard with 2x2gb or ram, im looking to upgrade to a total of 8gb maybe with a 2x4gb setup...

Now i know its DDR3 but what im struggling to understand is the MAX RAM support this motherboard can hold, im reading that its 8gb but then im reading it can be 16gb... so my first question is what is the max ram support ?

Secondly i notice that ram can be 1 of three 'speeds' 800mhz, 1066mhz and 1333mhz, now please correct me if im wrong, im looking at Amazon Link (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B004CRSM4I) will it work ?

Or how about 2xEbuyer Link (http://www.ebuyer.com/633838-hyperx-fury-black-series-4gb-1333mhz-ddr3-cl9-dimm-memory-hx313c9fb-4)

Again i apologise if this seems very vague, please ask for more info and ill try give what i can, but an answer to my questions would be really appreciated :)
