Hi all,
For those of you who use this motherboard or similar, I am just wondering
what memory you prefer? It's been a few years since I last built a system,
and I have some catching up to do. I am looking for 512MB's total and have
been thinking about 2 stick of each:
1. Kingston HyperX (KHX3200/256) DDR400 (2-2-2-6) - Not on Asus memory
qualified DDR400 vendor list, but this is DDR400 / PC3200.
2. Kingston HyperX (KHX3500/256) DDR433 (2-3-3-7) - This is on the Asus
memory qualified DDR400 vendor list, but isn't this DDR433 / PC3500??? If
DDR433 is faster than DDR400, why do the memory timings seem slower? Also,
doesn't the motherboard manual say only to use PC3200, PC2700, or PC2100?
3. Corsair XMS (CMX256A-3200LL) DDR400 (2-3-2-6) - Not on Asus memory
qualified DDR400 vendor list, but seems to have the best benchmarks.
My goals here are for stability, followed by speed using a P4 2.4C cpu.
Thanks for your time.
