Pls help i really want to know if the memory is compatible with the motherboard. My dad will buy me these parts if i get first place in my class.

Answer 1

To all the people who said the RAM won't work the motherboard, you need to know a little bit more about the motherboard than just what the standard specs say. That is an overclocking board, which means it will easily run DDR2 1067 RAM. Now having said that, I would seriously reconsider a lot of your choices. I would find a better brand RAM, Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, Crucial all good. That board is definately overkill, especially if you do not plan to overclock your processor or run SLI. That power supply is also overkill for that setup, 500-600 Watts will be fine. Take all that money you save their and bump the video card up to an 8800GTX. If you want further advice about parts, send me an email.

Answer 2

great board...look at Corsair / G.Skill / OCZ for DDR2 800 or 1066

And with a 1000watt PSU you WILL NEED a dedicated power line from your fusebox.look into maybe an 800 or 850watt unit.
You also want more than 1 12v rail to ensure the right amount of power to the right places.

Answer 3

I woudn't spend that much on a mobo.
Your getting the shaft on that board.
The RAM won't work with that board.
You can go to the manufactures website to see detailed specifications on what RAM will run the best, email them to find out which is the best if it is not listed on their site (which model # RAM & brand works best with the board). Especially if your spending that kind of doe on one, you want to make sure everything is compatible.
I buy Abit. On their website, it lists what sticks work with each board. I haven't had any problems with their boards.
You can buy a great gaming board for 1/2 the price.
try www.newegg.com

Answer 4

The fastest memory that motherboard can handle is DDR 2 800mhz. Your video card looks pretty good. I don't think you should have a problem with games.

Answer 5

that motherboard is a little pricey, and your RAM will not work with it (you want 1066, but 800 is what it takes)

I can help you make a really good computer if you send me an email (click on my user name)

tell me you budget and what you want out of this system.

Also are you Canada or US?

OMG, that board is a real rip-off, i just re-read the specs, and it dosne't even compare to my $230 dollar board

Answer 6

Sorry, pick out a new ram chip. you need the speed of DDR2 800 (PC6200) But nice mb though.
