Aspire AM3400-U2502 Max Memory?

Knife

I have a Aspire AM3400-U2502 and read the max memory is 8GB but couldn't find anything on whether or not I could do 2x 4GB or if it needs to be 4x 2GB?

Also while I'm here, would a AMD Phenom II X4 965 be the best CPU upgrade for it?

Plan on doing a cheap budget build for someone.

@Knife You can use x2 4GB ram sticks for cheaper option

I see the upgrade options there but not sure if that answers the question on whether or not I can do 2x 4GB sticks instead of 4x 2GB sticks?

Appreciate it. Buying 2x 4gb later, ordered a AMD Phenom II X4 965, upgraded the PSU to a 430w I had laying around, and will be searching for a decent GPU soon enough. Should be pretty decent build for a starter gaming PC.
