Question 1

is this memory module compatible with unbuffered, nonECC modules on AMD motherboards?

Accepted Answer

Everything that I researched about the Corsair XMS2 before I purchased them indicated that they are unbuffered and non-ECC and are compatible with AMD.  I happen to have purchased an Intel board (best bang for my $ at the time), but I looked into AMD boards.

The main thing you have to remember is that it's dual-channel, so ensure you pair them with the correct memory sockets when installing them into your motherboard so they boot correctly.

Question 2

Can I use this in a dual channel motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Keep in mind, though, that a pair of memory sticks must be installed in matching channels.  The channels on your motherboard will be color-coded - install your memory sticks in matching color-coded sockets.  Also, the pair of memory sticks being installed in either channel must EXACTLY match specifications with each other, or you could experience errors or boot-up issues.

A good method to go by is to install one memory stick at a time, boot up your computer to see that it boots to the OS.  Then, if it boots successfully, install the next memory stick in its matching channel socket, boot up to the OS, and so on.

Happy tinkering :)

Question 3

On my memory stick I have the following written: Corsair cmx21024-6400G       800mhz  1044mb    xms6405v5.1 . Is this what I need to upgrade? I have 2 gigs of memory now and 2 open slots. Will 4 gigs of memory be enough? All I do with the computer is surf the internet and my wife plays some games on it.(just simple games-no 3d or anything.)

Accepted Answer

That is what I did and it was more than enough. 4Gigs works great

Check out your PC specs, if you can support 240pin ram, and can support at least 1gb of ram, then this ram will work, but as outdated as that computer and so called (new) ram are. I recommend getting a new computer, because upgrading such an old slow computer isn't worth it! You can find amazing computers laptops and bare-bone PC's all over newegg, or any other site or electronics store nearby! I solely recommend newegg!
