Also, finding some practically unobtanium (read: expensive) 8GB RAM (2x 4GB DDR2) that works on an Intel board; most are AMD-supported because of the large RAM chip count. Hasn't really been much of an issue since DDR3 era; only real issue now is server vs. desktop compatibility nowadays.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n8 or 16 memory chips for a 4GB DDR2 stick work on Intel boards, usually. AMD boards usually use 16 to 32 memory chips for a 4GB stick.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nInstalling an AMD-supported RAM stick on an Intel board will either show up as half-read (4GB stick as 2GB) or beeps indicating unrecognized RAM."}
