If my RAM is DDR3 can I ONLY upgrade to DDR3?
I think the answer to that is yes....right? In fact it is DDR3 Unbuffered ECC Memory - so that is the exact type that I must upgrade right? Thanks

Correct, only DDR3 RAM can be used, any other type won't fit the slots anyway. If you have ECC ram now, you may be able to use non-ECC.
Generally speaking, memory types are mechanically keyed so that, in theory, you cannot use the wrong ones - but don't take that as gospel.... always check exactly what type you need to upgrade.
Got it. Just want to be sure. Im watching the RAM on ebay that ends in a few hours so just wanted to be sure. Thanks
Yeah, it keeps going up. Im doing the sniper strategy at the end. Whats interesting is how much this is going up. Looks like 4 x 2G RAM Slots are going to be sold for $45 - seems high or is that cheap? This RAM I am buying could easily be like 4/ 5 years old....?
