    I am planning on getting a new Ram for my motherboard. This is the ram OCZ SLI-Ready 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800. It says its SLI ready. Does that mean that my motherboard has to be SLI compatible to run the ram?

    Thanks

    No, that means it's a marketing ploy. SLI ready memory is ALL memory, some brands just choose to label it that way so some dumb people will buy it for their SLI rigs.

    Make sure that that memory runs at 1.8v, or DO NOT BUY IT.
