1 It wont harm your computer but the memory timings/voltages will may need to
2 be set manually. Plug it in and try it out. The only real different thing
3 between Intel Other memory is the spd information is for intel rather than
4 amd in the ram will not run at rated speed until you change
5 timings/voltages to match. Let us know if you have any problems. I'm sure
6 they can be worked out. Oh and update the bios.
