ALiveNF5-eSATA2+ compatibility with cheap HD memor

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello
I am looking for a low-cost upgrade of my few years old desktop machine.

It runs Phenom II 965 CPU on ALiveNF5-eSATA2+ mobo from Asrock.  I found those cheap memory modules sold by korean/chinese sellers 
and I thought, why not? But after doing some research I found that this 
memory has compatibility problems with some motherboards (mainly intel).
 Some sources say, that such memory can only work with ATI/Via/Sis/AMD 
chipset, so I am bit worried that this memory will not work for me. (As 
my mobo has nforce5 chipset). Other sources says, memory controller is 
in CPU, so it should work with any Phenom II mobo. My motherboard 
supported 8GB RAM at the date of release (no Phenom II ATM), but after 
it got new bios, with Phenom II support, it can support 16GB RAM now.

Could anyone help me a bit with that?
