My concern was getting all parts that work together ... for example many

it a RAM strip fault a combination fault, a MB fault ... getting to
bottom of that could be expensive & time consuming.

Motherboard makers will publish a list of tried and tested RAM
configurations, and CPU models and steppings. Just buy stuff off the
"approved" lists and you will be fine. (you will probably be fine if you
don't!)...

.... and the Crucial web site has both a system scanner and an advisor
tool to make choosing compatible memory simple.
