So I just bought this guy here ASUS M4A77TD and my budget is around $115.00 for a pair of 2GB sticks on newegg. But I'm confused. Some people's reviews indicate that certain types of ram favor intel boards in some way, and cause problems in AMDs. Furthermore there are so many different types of DDR3 that I'm left scratching my head. Can anyone recommend a decent pair that will be optimal for my budget? I'll be pairing it with an Athlon II X3 445 and my maximum budget is approximately $200.
There's a tab at the bottom of your link that says "Memory Support List." Any item in that list will work for your board. Stick with quality manufacturers:
