RAM choice
Have a Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 board I am going to replace the Athlon 64 x2 245 with a 260 and am finding choosing the RAM a tad difficult as I also want to up the RAM to 8GB (max board will support) but finding a brand is turning out to be really difficult.
I like G Skill stuff and have some spare sticks here 1333, 1600 and even some 2133Mhz but looking at the specs most are mostly Intel orientated so am not sure whether or not to put these in. I can get some Corsair sticks that fit any system for $65 but would like to save a few bucks if I can.
So my query is am I going to damage the board if I put in sticks primarily meant for Intel boards or those 2133 sticks that my son had in his AMD build (but only 2GB x 2)?
