mobo: M4A785TD-M EVO
AMD Athlon II X3 445 unlocked as Phenom II X4 B45 (stepping C3)
Please help me with choosing the correct ram for this mobo.
What I'd like is to do is either:
A.) use a single 4GB F3-8500CL7S-4GBRL and then maybe in 6 months I'll get another, eventually with 4 sticks for a total of 16gb.
or
B.) use 2 x 2GB sticks now and then in 6 months add 2 x 4GB for a total of 12GB.
So first, is the F3-8500CL7S-4GBRL stick compatible with my mobo? If so, is it expected that I can buy a second chip later and that they would work together as a pair?
Also, what are the best timings for the memory for me to use?
I'm not planning on overclocking the ram or the cpu for that matter. This machine will be hopefully running VMware ESXi and a handful of virtual machines.
