No, you need DDR3 memory.

Try this.

How about this instead? It's half the price of what you linked to ((let's call this one "the $14.99 one").

Would it work?

Nope, that's ECC RAM. your board doesn't support that.

Also, it's a roll of the dice with ebay. My link is the cheapest you'll find a 2x4GB RAM kit that isn't sketchy.

Ok, can you just give me a list of criteria my ram needs to have to fit on my motherboard? A comprehensive list that I can check.

No ECC memory, DDR3, 1600 mhz

supposedly your mobo supports some crazy high memory overclock but I dunno. I've seen spec sheets be wrong before. I wouldn't get anything above 2100 mhz or whatever that tier is.

and I would shoot for 1600 mhz speed minimum. Usually the speed doesn't matter much but the difference in price between the bottom line and 1600 is pennies, if anything at all. No reason to get 1033 or whatever it is.

So, it can be any type of memory besides ECC?

As long as it's DDR3 and 1600 mhz at least.

EDIT: Sorry, nevermind. I feel stupid now.

I'm trying to fire up the emulator after installing my Nvidia Geforce GTX 560. But it isn't working because it says this card doesn't support OpenGL 2 or 3.

Have you installed the drivers for your GPU?
