The Patriot ram is working on my Intel D975XBX2. Yea! :)

So, Rambunctious, your ram problem is solved!?! Maybe I can breathe a sign of relief now. Most of my order will be in tomorrow. I won't be using RAID, just a couple of SATA hard drives and an IDE DVD Recorder...

I think he has the same RAM that is being shipped to me. Newegg has volt at 2.2 but Patriots web site has it at 2.1v http://www.patriotmem.com/products/deta...5&catid=2&prodgroupid=38&id=317&type=1

You may want to visit http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=124131&highlight=d975xbx2 and see if anyone there can help you set your memory in a way which will be stable. At least I hope they can since I have bought the same memory.

The above process is exactly what I wanted. I have found and downloaded the manual (Intel Desktop Board D975XBX2 Technical Product Specification) and a Specification Update. Been reading up on the board so I might be somewhat ready when I receive it. I have already ordered the RAM. I decided...

Is there a way to test your motherboard before you add everything to it to do a minimum check that it is ok? Maybe a step by step check as you add cards and drives to it? I did a search here using "test motherboard" and did not find anything. If I missed a sticky somewhere, I apologize in...

What is so neat about this memory? https://www.shopatbuffalotech.com/cart/product.php?productid=16422&cat=0&page=1 Is the above a good buy?

I have never ordered from Tiger Direct before. I usually use Newegg, Zipzoomfly, or Mwave.

I noticed Mushkin memory at mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) with EPP Profile Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146673 (More expensive then Patriot RAM.) Brand mushkin Model 996533 Type 240-Pin...

I'm going to get the Patriot RAM and the D975XBX2. I like what I am reading about Patriot, and the stability of the D975XBX2 in using IDE ATA connector. Now, all I need is for my tax return to arrive as scheduled. I will post back sometime next week and report my progress in setting up my...

So, If I like a RAM with 2.2v listed, It "might" run at a lower voltage acceptable to my motherboard? And to the RAM, also?

I like the second one you listed, Patriot, although I have never used them. Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

I found the following at Newegg: ------------------ G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231098 ------------------ G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667...

I do not think it is standard. The cost was listed as $339.00 at Crucial's site. I would like to have the ability to do some OCing in the future. So, does that mean I must use memory that runs 1.8 or 1.9v? Is there memory which runs at those speeds and can be overclocked a little?
