The motherboard has information in its documentation about what memory it can use. Most sites you buy motherboards from also say what it can use as well. The biggest things to be concerned with are the speed and the type of memory needed. Speed is written one of two ways. Either as DDRx xxx or as PC xxxx. The xs are whatever number as needed. They aren't limited to that number of numbers. Those are just examples. Each speed of memory has a DDR and PC number. Type is the number of pins it has and the well type (DDR SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, etc.).
