TWIN2X2048-6400C4 & TWIN2X2048-6400C4D compatibility

[comp_wiz_bit]

Hi,

 

Can you please let me know if TWIN2X2048-6400C4 or TWIN2X2048-6400C4D are compatible with Intel BLK DQ965GFEKR motherboard and Intel E6300 (1066MHz FSB) processor? I am new to PC installation and would like to icrease my memory and and its speed to the maximum supported speed of 800Mhz with 2GB memory. I need a module which I can just slip into the slot and forget about it. I do not want hassle of configuring the module etc so as to get what I want out of it.

 

From Itel's website (http://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/gf/D5602101US.pdf) the memory requirements for this board are

• 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs
  
• DDR2 800 DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)
  

 

I'll appreciate it if you can please let me know if TWIN2X2048-6400C4 is compatible with my system and needs.

 

Also, in-case the above memory is not compatible with my system, can you please let me know which crosair memroy would gove me the performance I need from my PC?

 

Thanks on advance for your time.

Notice: Only DDR2-800 memory supporting JEDEC approved 1.8V operation with timings of 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 is supported on Intel Desktop Boards based on Intel 965 Express Chipsets.

 

This is the DRAM that will suit your board.

6400C4 is not the DRAM to choose for your board.

Thanks for the response DerekT. Before I make the final purchase though, can you possibly let me know the dimensions of TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX? I see a few reviewers saying that due to height constraints the modules did not fit properly in their motherboard. As such, I'll rather be a bit cautious before I make the purchase as I cannot return them afterwards.

 

And thanks again for the response.

They are D or DHX modules are taller than normal modules because of the heat spreader design and you need to have 2" of clearance over the modules slots for these modules.
