Legend! I dont mind buying 2 new sticks
After reading the manual from my motherboard it says..
'Memory = Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Technology
2 x DDR3 DIMM slots
Supports DDR33 1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Max. Capacity of system memory: 16GB'
So if i'm right... ' http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-(...-9-9-9-24-150v ' should be fine?[COLOR="red"]

What he is talking about is Dual Channel. In order to run in DC, both memory modules have to be able to run at the same speed with the same timings. That can be tricky when you have 2 different modules, which is why MB manufacturers usually tell you to run identical ram in all of the memory slots.
Here is the same ram from Overclockers. Looks to be a bit cheaper:

So i successfully installed my new 8gb 1333mhz RAM. This is what speccy is saying its like now....
Memory slots
Total memory slots 2
Used memory slots 2
Free memory slots 0
Memory
Type DDR3
Size 8192 MBytes
Channels # Dual
DRAM Frequency 665.9 MHz
CAS# Latency (CL) 9 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 9 clocks
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 9 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 24 clocks
Command Rate (CR)
Is this all correct? 665.9mhz? or is that multiplied by 2?
Yes it looks correct. DDR = Double Data Rate it is always reported at half the speed.

Crucial has a memory scanner tool on their site. And you can buy the RAM directly from them at along the same cost as newegg. They have a compatibility guarantee. My motherboard was dated so I had to flash it so it would accept the 8 gigs (would only post with 4 gigs) but you shouldn't have that problem.
