How do you know which CPU RAM and motherboard are compatible?

Answer 1

First of all I would choose a motherboard, as you choose RAM and a CPU that will go with your mother board.

So if your motherboard is a AM2+ Socket, any AMD AM2+ socket CPU will fit into it and

if it has DDR2 RAM Slots, then you are required to get DDR2 RAM

Answer 2

Every component of a computer system has an interface to connect to the Motherboard. All you need to do is ensure that the parameters of the interface on the component matches the parameters of the interface on the motherboard.

Each component has a different set of parameters, whether it be a hard drive, RAM, processor, video card or even something as simple as a mouse.

Answer 3

Normally the compatibility information should be on the box, but if your still having doubts ask an employee for help.
