Wouldn't you be better with PC2 8500 ram for that motherboard?

yer maybe what are the benefits of that over having 8gb or ram because 8gb of that speed is alot more exspensive isnt it or not

Well you can still have 8gb of ram, but the motherboard is rated for PC2 8500 ram instead of the PC2 6400 you have listed in the first post.
