Lol well maybe it fails and has to vent the plasma ? <| sep |> I ' ll call it dinner . <| sep |> 1 Intel P 35 and P 45 chipsets like the one you probably have don ' t support DDR 3 . You probably have DDR 2 800 MHz 2 Maximum ammount of memory you can install on P 35 P 45 chipset is 8 GB no matter what the internet tells you . Aaaand here are some more bad newsYour motherboard is limited to SATA 2 , which means that even if you add a SSD drive you won ' t get full performanceDepending on the mobo and the state of the capacitors on it , it will probably have issues running 8 GB of RAMWithout good cooling you cannot overclock the processorProblem is additionally compounded by the fact it ' s a BTX board . My advice isSell it fast , sell it cheap , save money get a budget spec which will decimate that one .
