Memory Question

krazy1 · Jul 16, 2003, 07:06 AM

I am getting ready to buy some much needed memeory for my gaming system. I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe(ver 2.0) with a XP 2500. I currently have PC2100 RAM in it but want to upgrade to either PC 2700 or PC 3200. I have heard in the past that there was stability issues with the PC 3200. ANyone know if this is true? I am looking at buy good memeory and not cheap stuff. I just don't want to buy the 3200 and have nothing but problems.

I dont think you need to worry PC3200 is generally good memory, its true some nforce motherboards dont like working with specific memory modules but they are few and far between. For example my last motherboard the Epox 8DRA+ didnt like to work with low latency Corsair memory even with a supposed bios flash fix to sort it. My current abit motherboard works with all the memory ive tried.

I would personally recommend OCZ ram.

I heard that the older nf7 had problems with Geil-RAM PC3200, but with your ASUS
in version 2.0 you should not have any rpoblems.

Best bang for the buck (IMO) = Kingston Value ram CAS2.5 PC3200 with Winbond CH5 chips
It runs at 211MHZ easily and at CAS2 on my A7N8X 2.0!!

Thanks for the help guys.. I appreciate it.....

THink I am going to do 2700. Mainly for the reason that I can get a Matched pair of Corsair TWINX512-2700LL (2 sticks of 512 Matched CAS 2-2-2) for $260. May even be cheeper if my buddy can use his disscount....

But once again thanks for the help....
