DDR RAM for X2 4800+ and A8R32-MVP

[Mango1970]

Hi all,
I am again here asking for a bit of help. I am ready to build my new system -- AMD x2 4800+ 939 on my new Asus A8R32-MVP mobo. I know there are a load of problems or issues at times with types of RAM with different mobos and chipsets. I need to purchase new RAM (2 X 1024 DDR) for this mobo and will be OC'ing aggressively like all the other of my systems. I normally go for regular value type OCZ RAM but recently having some issues with it doing anything OTHER than stock and with relaxed timing. Could anyone give my a few pointers on what they suggest especially if they have this board? Corsair? Gskill? Muskin?? any links to online retailers? I am in Canada so if any Canucks have a link to TigerDirect or NCX for types of RAM they have used successfully please feel free to chime in!
thanks!

I am so confused now on types of RAM.. used to be that OCZ you could not go wrong.. then Kingston.. then Corsair.. ARG>. now they make bioses for different types of RAM>> OMG i Just want RAM that can do say 2225 -235 MHz with decently tight timings.. I mean would love 500 (250DDR) but does not have to be that. I don?t honestly see my X2 4800 going to 3 Ghz (12X250).. but maybe 2800 1/1 would be great!!

thanks Bobs

I run Corsair 3500ll on the A8R32-MVP Deluxe with the 4800+ and love it. Its the same as the XMS but minus the leds.

i'm using OCZ 2 x 1gb DDR400 Platinum 2-3-2-5(according to newegg) but mine runs stock at 2.5-3-2-5, not a big deal but its not whats advertised. other than that everything is fine, no problems yet

have you tried setting the RAM to CAS 2. my OCZ platinum DDR400 auto detected at 2.5 on my old motherboard, but it ran fine at 2 so long as i set the timings manually...

I am using a 2GB kit of OCZ EL PC4000, and it works like a charm. It is rated @ 3-4-3-7 at 250mhz, and I am running 3-3-3-8 @ 260mhz, at stock voltage.
