Has anyone tried this RAM with the P5B vanilla? http://labs.anandtech.com/alllinks.php?pfilter=3034 Crucial PC-6400 2x1024mb Ballistix There is one report on a newegg.com review that it works with the p5b deluxe once you manually set the RAM voltage to 2.2v in the bios. But I wanted to...

I was interested in that motherboard too because of its price, but this thread has not been very encouraging and pretty much has scared me off: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=29&threadid=1908407&enterthread=y I'm leaning toward the ASUS P5B right now, which seems to be...

I'm a first time poster here. I'm not a pro, but I've been researching parts for several months for a (mostly) new computer that I intend to purchase and use primarily as a gaming platform (probably Neverwinter Nights 2, though probably other rpg's as well, including Oblivion). I have roughly...
