Why? If you have integrated graphics in addition to a video card, and something happens (failure to boot, etc...) the standard first thing to do is remove unnecessary components. A lot of times a computer will be able to boot with just the HDD and a stick of RAM. If you have no integrated graphics, then you can't remove the video card, and if the video card is the problem you'll have an unusable computer until you get a new one, whereas if you have integrated you'd be able to at least use your computer until you get a replacement (and possibly even find a fix without buying a new card).


Which consumer board don't come with integrated graphics? :/

At least 53 AMD boards.

/sigh, the guy selling the motherboard locally sold it already T_T

So before I buy a motherboard retail, just want to make 100% sure this G.SKILL NQ SERIES DDR3 1600 works with Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H motherboard?

Even the title says DDR3 and Dual Channel and 1600 :/
... so yes.

that's why i said 100%, some specifically only say 1600 while some, like that motherboard say 2200+/1600/1333 etc. No need for that kind of response bud I just wanted to know.

Well me saying they work together still doesn´t make it 100% certain... you never know.
And Google doesn´t give you one of a kind responses that make you feel unique and important...

Are you saying I need attention? I'm asking a a question in a computer help thread, where there are probably more questions asked that has answers way more obvious than mine. Any way, thanks for at least answering. Also, ... are funny.

SONE - if you're worried at all, just go with a kit that lists "Intel or P55" in the description. But to be even more re-assuring :D

I'll recommend the kit I use in my own PC, as I'm on a Gigabyte mobo myself (P55-UD3R):
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_312_612&item_id=026160

I'm a bit shocked at how little price variation there is though, from the cas7's to the cas9's.

LCD question:
24" Acer

Scratched my LCD monitor, has two 1-inch length 1-mm deep scratches near the left side of the monitor... Pixels are dead when I use it, but the rest of the monitor shows fine. Still under 3-year limited warranty, but probably won't be covered under warranty. Sent it in for repair, should arrive there around Friday... I assume the whole screen will have to be replaced. Anybody know the cost of fixing the screen of my LCD?

Hopefully under $100?

Thanks for the answer mav, I already bought that pair of ram I listed in the description (from before, because I planned on P55 but change of events) but I noticed the motherboard is H55, which I've read to be a lesser model to the P55 (integrated graphics). I'm not sure if this ram will work or not, any ideas?

If the ram doesn't work, there is another motherboard there http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_583&item_id=031291 for about the same price, but if I read it correctly even if I'm not using SLI, my card will still be running at 8x as opposed to 16x.

Ok well I just went to the store to ask the guy, and he said if it's not on the motherboard ram list then it wont work 100%. Is this guy bullshitting me or what, because I have yet to see a H55 designed kit of ram.

Yeah I checked it before answering SONE. It actually lists the "eco" kit that's @ 1.35v. *shrug*

Is he saying that he is 100% sure that it does NOT work or that he is just not 100% sure that it DOES work? Sry i don't get that from your sentence.
For memory from the good brands (and gskill is one of those) i would not worry about the compatability. There are just too many different variations out there to test them all with every motherboard. If the ram is not listed on the supported memory list from gigabyte that does not mean that it is not compatible, they probably just didn't test it.

Yeah that's what I assumed. I just played it safe though he gave me a headache, so I ordered the P55-GD55 from ncix instead -_-

EDIT: and yeah, he said it WON'T work. I guess QVL is law to some people :x
