Hello, please take a little bit of your time to help me choose the correct RAM.

I have this mother board, http://uk.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=Wv3U3hfa7ZbODqSr

And I am wondering what type of RAM will fit in it?

I don't really want to Order online, would rather just walk into PC world or something and pick it up... So I was looking at these,

Its DDR2 technology offers high-bandwidth performance and allows it to operate the external bus at twice the rate of standard DDR RAM memory modules.

This 1GB Integral PC2-6400 DDR2-800 DIMM RAM Memory Module will fin in the 240-pin slot on the motherboard of your desktop computer. It has a capacity of 1 GB and an I/O bus clock speed of 400 MHz, transferring 6400 MB/s at its peak rate.

* 1GB PC2-6400 DDR2 Memory
* For Desktop PC's

* 240 Pin Interface / 800MHz

Would these fit?

Thankyou.

Hi RAMYDNA.

I should probably first confirm that you have both RAM sticks installed into the Yellow slots on your motherboard. Is this the case?

If that is the case then you probably should take this passage from the bible (ie the mobo manual) Chapter 1, Verse 7 (page 1-15) into account:

Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2GB system memory when you install two 1GB or DDR memory modules.

This seems to be a likely reason for the missing RAM. TBH it doesn't look like the best board around if it can't handle 2GB properly.
