Moving all my Dell Components into new case: How?

Ok now i have another problem. I looked at the RAM in my case and it is Micron MT8VDDT3264AG-40BCB (I think, i cant read my own handwriting but that is the gist) and the only one it says is 'tested and qualified' for use with the mobo i want is Micron MT16VDDT6464AG-40BCB. Does this mean that my plan for using this memory with this new motherboard is scuppered?
 
To me it looks like it should be fine if I google it alot of ASUS shows up in the results but ASUS are known to be fussy with RAM BUT the MoBo you plan on uses 865 chipset which is very forgiving with RAM(I know I have 2 of them to work with) The Missus is a Gigabyte 8IG-1000MK and I have "mixed" RAM running in hers consisting of 1 gig of Corsair Value and 2x256 of Infineon using the same TSOP chips but different SPDs, I also have that puppy OC 2.4C@3.0 so the ram is running 216 as well in Dual Channel.
So bottom line if its PC3200 you should be just fine
 
I've checked the manual and the only Micron RAM on there is that one I quoted which is 512MB, could it be possible that my RAM is simply that version of RAM except in DDR 256MB?
 
That would be a fair guess as yours are MT8 and the ones quoted in the manual are MT16
 
Dont worry about the ram lmao it will work fine...dont get either one of those PSU's. If you can, buy an ANTEC 350W+ 380 or 430 would be best. Antec are conservatively rated and they dont boast super high amperage but they are great stable PSU's
