no it probably wont work, if it does it wont work well. Stick to what your board is capable of running and dont buy cheap generic ram. Crucial, Kingston, Mushkin, Patriot are all decent brands. Cheap ram usually has crappy memory banks and extremely poor life and performance. They also tend to have compatibility problems.

mark1065,

Let me add that you need to find out if your motherboard will support the higher RAM per stick.
Some motherboards are limited to 512 per slot, in my experience most often lower end Brand systems.
