Ok, so I just bought a new motherboard, due to my chipset not working properly and it used ddr2. my new motherboard uses ddr3. I bought some new memory and it is UDIMM, not dimm on the gigabyte website. Will it still work on a GA-78LMT-S2?

DIMM is a style of memory and they have different types. UDIMM is "unbuffered" and is the most common for consumer PCs so should work in your PC.

Thanks man! I got confused when trying to research the differences, saying that they were for workstations.
