The ram i have is DDR 400 PC3200 and the mobo says it can run it. The problem is that the motherboard manufacturer released a liist of compatible/recommended ram and mine isn't on the list. Will it work.

For sure, buy another motherboard with complete parts for sure.

As there are several hundred makers of RAM, a mobo manual could not possible list all the compatible RAM. So it will list a handful of the top companies. Most of the other companies will then list their RAM as compatible with those top companies.
Try the RAM. The worst that will happen is the mobo will not boot. but just beep at you. In that case, replace it with new RAM. But it will not hurt to mobo to try the chips.

it really is a touch low end device. The video is one in each and every of the biggest difficulty for the device said by technique of the quantity of accessible RAM. The NVIDIA 5500 isn't very strong for gaming. because you've grew to grow to be all settings down low, there extremely should not be a lot more advantageous which will be finished. verify all non-necessary courses were terminated and wait out both months for the recent device. once you get an theory what device you want, please submit the information up as yet another question for evaluation the following (lower than a sparkling question). Any hardware improvements at this factor will be a waste of money because you're already planning to replace the device.

It should work if the specs match. I think motherboard manufacturers have agreements with certain memory companies, to list their memory in their manuals. Money is probably exchanged ;) Of course some memory Is more reliable than others, but there are some very good low cost memory dimms out there.

it does not matter to try, but just in case if it is not working, you may want to go to the motherboard cmos and set the ram to run at a slower rate, maybe disable the L2 cache. If still doesn't work, change ram or motherboard whichever cheaper.

Compatible and Recommended are two different things. Only on rare occasions have I seen a not recommended memory stick not work.

It should work. They just have recommended RAM. My MOBO did not have my RAM on the list and it works just fine with what I have.

How big of a risk taker are you? To make sure, stay with the mfg suggestions. Or, take chances and take advice from others. If it were me, I would take the chance, because memory is expensive.
