    Mainboard Model D945GCL

    I posted:

    INTEL BOXD945GCLF Essential D945GCL Desktop Board 945G Express Socket T 1066MHz, 800MHz, 533MHz FSB 4GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2-667/PC2-5300, DDR2-533/PC2-4200, DDR2-400/PC2-3200 µATX MOTHERBOARDS COMPUTER COMPONENTS

    That is the same board.

    Was your computer custom built or is it a brand name such as Dell or HP etc.

    If the latter what is the exact make and model?

    DDR 2 is 240 pins. DDR is 180. The current new systems use DDR 3 which would require a new motherboard.

    The most efficient for two slots is 2 x 2GB if the mobo will hold 4 GB.

    I will look at more graphics cards tomorrow but as of now I am passing out.

    Yea that sucks that video card is nice but I forgot to mention I use Dual monitors one with the white plug in and the other a normal VGA. They are both on my one video card.

    For best performance RAM needs to be an exact pair.

    If not the lower spec will compromise the higher.

    Also mixing brands is not a good idea.

    For dual monitors you need dual ports. I would not recommend splitters whether for power or for monitors.

    Most cards are supplied with adapters fro VGA/DVI or vice versa.

    You have no need for a low profile. That was just a first link I saw.

    This will work for you:
