I am going to pick a DFI lanparty ultra-D socket 939 motherboard. It says it can support over 4 gigs of RAM because it has 4 RAM banks. What kind of RAM should I get. Im looking for 1GB RAM sticks. Let me know if you got any information on the type, kind and background of the RAM.

Thanks,
WeezleXX89

You dont need more than 2gb and if you wanna OC you dont want more than 2 dimms occupied.

Just pick up any of the most raved about ddr500 2x1024gb kits in the forums, gskill,mushin,ocz are good.

You can consolidate all your need parts help threads into 1 thread also.
