Question 1

My HP Desktop has 16 Gig of RAM.  I want to increase to 32 Gig.  HP does not sell the RAM any more.  Will your 32 Gig RAM work in my machine?

HP spec says my RAM is:
•16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 PC3-12800

Accepted Answer

It depends on the model of the motherboard/system.

What model is your HP? If your system shipped with 16GB ram it very well may let you upgrade but it depends on the number of slots and maximum amount of Ram per slot that your motherboard will accept.

You can look in the HP support assistant, if you have the utility installed.

right now you have two 8GB sticks of ram from what you have stated.

Question 2

Will this work in an EVGA NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use "pcpartpicker(dot)com" to combine the two components and the website itself will verify the compatibility.

Question 3

Does this work for MSI A78M-E35 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is yes, this particular motherboard supports 2, 16GB memory cards. Enjoy this and upgrade later.

Question 4

is this DIMM for the 2x2?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 5

I have a Dell Vostro 230 with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, shipped with Windows 7 64-bit will upgrade to Windows 10.  Currently has 4 GB (2X2GB)  2Rx8 PC3 – 10600U-9-10-B0 memory.
Per the Corsair website’s memory finder tool, I should order:
 CORSAIR 4GB (2 x2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMV4GX3M2A1333C
Per the Newegg website memory finder tool, I can order:
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB (2x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ4GX3M2A1600CB
If it will work, I would rather get the Corsair Vengeance Memory.  From what I see on the internet, I will need to make some changes to my BIOS in order to adjust for the increased speed?  If so, could you please provide the settings and values that I will need to change?
Thanks.

Or is there a better product that will work within the same price range?

Accepted Answer

The Corsair vengeance is rated for speed up to 1600. The Dell comes with 1333 RAM. This may mean the Motherboard can not support 1600 and would would not allow the Corsair RAM to work. Also the Corsair RAM could be locked at 1600 and not allow it to speed down to 1333. It would be best to find 1333 RAM instead of the Corsair 1600.

Question 6

I have a 1333bus processor. Would I get any performance advantage using this 1600 versus the cheaper corsair value ram at1333?

Accepted Answer

Your memory of 1600 will down clock to 1333.

Question 7

Is this supported by the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P (AMD) motherboard? Thanks in advance guys!

Accepted Answer

I don't have much time, so here: go look-up your motherboard and see if it can support 240pin ram, if it can then good! Also check if it supports 1600mhz ram or more, if not (HIGHLY Unlikely) then it wont work, but I'm 97% sure your motherboard supports 1600mhz or more and I am 50% sure that your motherboard supports 240pin ram... Actually make that a 56% for 240pin... :)
