RAM upgrade help?

[Mozza]

Hi, i have an ASRock motherboard:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?M ... NF4G-SATA2 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=939NF4G-SATA2)

I currently have 2x512Mb RAM and am looking to upgrade.

First of all ive gotta tell you i'm new to computer upgrades etc, this is my first upgrade, so i really have no clue about RAM (all these letters confuse me :lol: )

After reading the motherboard spec, i THINK that it would support this RAM:

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/spec ... AM-40%2F1G (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?RAM-40%2F1G)

please correct me if i'm wrong? :?

Secondly, if i bought two sticks of the above RAM, could i also use the RAM ive got installed at the moment, to give me 3Gb of RAM? or does it not work like that? :?

sorry if my questions are stupid, i just dont want to rush into buying anything i'm not sure about

thanks in advance

Yes it should support that RAM.

and also yes if you bought 2 sticks and used them with your other 2 sticks of 512mb that would give you a total of 3gb.

So your completely right in your assumptions =)
