      I've shopped pnewegg.com's website many times but did not know they had a  Memory-Configurator.  I just took a look and found Compaq d530 CMT (I have one) in their database.  I'm glad you posted that.

      Nvidia 780i MOBO.
      Isn't that the chipset used. Do you have a MB make and model #?
      Also what memory do you have now (Make / part # / # of modules.

      The reason I ask is it may be an option to add more modules of what you currently have provided you have empty sockets available.

      A good tool for identifying components is Everest home edition if you need it.
