Question 1

Have a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz on a Dell 0200DY mother board. MB has 4 mem slots running 2.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @531 mhz (7-7-7-20). Would this 4 stick set work in place of the current 2 stick giving me 8GB? OS is Windows 10

Accepted Answer

Yes these should work.

Question 2

Does this memory work with AMD motherboards, and if so would it be at the advertised clock speed and timings?

Accepted Answer

Memory is brand agnostic, which means that as long as it is the right specification for the memory interface on the motherboard you can use it with intel or amd without worry.

As far as speed goes that will depend on the board's supported ram speed ratings. DDR3 1333 is a fairly lower end as far as speeds go so you should be ok there but I'd advise checking to make sure the board you're looking at using supports this speed.

Timings rely more on the memory controller itself and is tied into how many sticks you're running. If your board has 8 dimm slots and you fill all 8 then you may need to relax the timings and/or increase the voltage to the needed channels as running 8 sticks puts a heavier load on the ram controller than 4, especially if you're thinking of buying two of these kits to run in the same build. It is always easier to buy a fully matched kit.

If your board only has 4 dims or you're only going to populate 4 slots out of an 8 dim array then these should work great. If you're looking to fill all 8 dimms (if your board has 8) then you should opt for a fully matched 8 stick kit. These typically come as 32gb kits.

Question 3

my OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit i have a Intel DX38BT Motherboard with Bios BTX3810j.86a.2006.2009.1057 and a Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 3.00GHz Socket 775 LGA Main Memory Features of Intel Desktop Board DX38BT are Four 240-pin, DDR3 1.5 V SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets 1333/1066/800 MHz single or dual channel DDR3 SDRAM interface Support for up to 8 GB of system memory ? will this kit work work correctly in my system some people have had issues with using over 4 gigs of ram with the Intel DX38BT Motherboard

Accepted Answer

I know this is old and you probably upgrade along time ago but for anyone looking I purchased this Memory kit for a Intel DX38BT board. They worked right out of the box with no issue! Core 2 Quad X6850.

Question 4

Are these modules double sided ? If so, what is the chip count and organization on each side? I have one of the infamous dp45sg boards

Accepted Answer

dp45sg is a nightmare with RAM. I had that board 5 years ago. After researching through 1000s of reviews I found that DDR3 1333 Crucial Ballitix Sports work. I purchased a 4GB kit and they worked perfectly. You will have to have a 8GB (4x2GB) kit or Two 4GB(2x2GB) kits (if you can find them)  to utilize 8GB on a 775 Board.
