Here is the list of supported memory modules for your motherboard:

I had a quick look at the document at the following G.Skill RAM is supported:

G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-2GBNQ DDR3 1600 2048MB(Kit of 2) SS N/A Heat-Sink Package 9-9-9-24 1.5V~1.6V

G.SKILL F3-12800CL8T-6GBHK DDR3 1600 2048MB DS N/A Heat-Sink Package 8-8-8-21 1.6~1.65

G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ DDR3 1600 6144MB(Kit of 3) DS N/A Heat-Sink Package 9-9-9-24 1.5V~1.6V

There is similar G.Skill RAM on OcUK:

It has the code F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL and is supposed to work with AMD chipsets:

However only the following Asus motherboards have been tested:

ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
ASUS M4A79X TD EVO
ASUS M4A78T-E
ASUS M4A785T-M
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO

However according to the document the following Geil RAM is supported:

GEIL GV34GB1333C7DC DDR3 1333 2048MB DS N/A Heat-Sink Package 7-7-7-24 1.5V

This is available on OcUK:

so out of these two which would u go for if it was for u?

G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL) [F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL]

or

Geil Value 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel (GV34GB1333C7DC) [GV34GB1333C7DC]

If you want maximum compatibility the Geil has been tested with your motherboard and will work. OTH,the G.Skill may prove more useful if you are overclocking although 1333MHZ at low latencies is better than 1600MHZ at higher latencies for a Phenom II at stock speeds.

im not overclocking my machine at all so the geil seems like the best option would you agree?

But still try to unlock the processor as you already know you have a good chance of getting a triple or quad core.

 

[McGill2010]

already tried unlocking the cores and the system was not stable, i used occt to test and stress it

You may need to muck around a bit to get it stable.

Whether you chose to muck around with the CPU or not I would have a look at these threads:

There are a few people on these forums who could give you some advice on this if you chose to try again.
