NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 yeah i am really thinking about getting that board. But if someone OC hard and i see good results i will take it. OCZ, GEIL, AND CORSAIR are all good memory companies for yur board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davomroverclocker Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 I emailed a lot of companies about the memory thang ! The most common advice I got was to run Corsair XMS2700 sticks, and to run them in pairs (obviously). Better results will be gained from 2x256 rather than 1x512. I have yet to purchase, due to the UK still awaiting stocks, and now I am torn between the Gigabyte GA-8INXP and the Asus P4G8X. Anyone have any views on this? Also, is this new going to be better than a different solution with faster FSB and memory support? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davomroverclocker Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 Don't be sad Terminal_Drop, it will be worth the wait. Definitely run them in pairs in a Dual DD mobo. Do you have your mobo yet ? I am still waiting - ANY DAY NOW !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davomroverclocker Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 Well I was originally steered towards Corsair XMS2700, but for a bit of future proofing (and only a little more expense), I went for Corsair XMS3500. Where are you getting your mobo from ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
