Hi, last week I upgraded my ram capacity, this worked so well that my dad asked if I could help him upgrade his. I ordered the same one but forgot to look at compatibility and the new ram did not work because the MHz was not compatible. I returned the ram and ordered ram with 1333 MHz since this is compatible with his processor. But, this still does not work!

Can someone help and explain why this happened? I looked up the specs on the intel website and his processor is compatible with 1066 and 1333. Since I ordered the wrong one twice I now want to make sure I get it right. Suggestions are welcome but I would also want to know why this one does not work so I do not make the same mistake in the future :)

His processor is the Intel I5 650

The ram I got him is a 2x8gb set by Royemai
