ECS Geforce 6100SM-M Question

I live in a place where there are B&M Fry's stores. They typically run combo deals that feature the ECS Geforce 6100SM-M. I am putting together a new system for my father and was thinking about picking up a combo from Fry's (the motherboard often costs almost $0 in these combos). The new rig will run Windows Vista Ultimate, so I will be installing 2 GB of RAM (I consider 2 GB to be a minimum for anything over Vista Home Basic).

I have 2 GB of OCZ DDR2 6400 (800 MHz) Platinum that I plan on using with the new system. I was wondering if anybody here at AT Forums knows if this memory is compatable with the ECS motherboard. I know some motherboards can be kind of picky about the memory that they use. I have done a search and found no mention of any compatability issues in this forum, but I read in the Newegg customer reviews that there may be an issue with this OCZ memory (from one reviewer).

Thanks.

If the board lists support for ddr2 6400, then it should work fine. I like crucial or corsair myself, but ocz should be ok. If you're buying the combo at Fry's, might as well get the memory from them, even if it's slower. DDR2 5300 (667) should also work fine. I've never had a problem returning items to Fry's. If the memory isn't compatable with your board, then you have at least 15 days to return it without a restocking fee.
