thank you again and really helpful, I just assumed my current stick would work. with Asus I can just email them and ask, if not compatible it will be easy to order from them or buy from a parts store here, for some reason it's easy to find anything to do with computers except actual computers. if incompatible I can get that done before the new comp even arrives so the head's up is a huge help

seriously, didn't even consider that as a potential issue. gracias!
