Tell your work that it would probably be cheaper to buy a new mobo with 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM than 12 more gigs of DDR2 RAM alone (that way you can get the mobo for free too!).

Of course if you're running DDR3 right now, forget I said anything and congrats on getting a sweet upgrade for free.
I have DDR2 ram now, but the new ram is DDR3. The old mobo is an AM3 so it can go either way. (I couldn't even find 4 gb ddr2 sticks - not that I looked all that hard...)
