EPoX 8RDA+ RAM recommendations needed!

[brigden]

With a recent system build, I found that a single stick of Infineon (OEM) 512MB PC2700 (7-3-3-2.5) was causing stability issues while running 3D apps. The RAM will be RMA'ed, and I need to find a reliable and stable replacement. I'm still looking for 512MB of PC2700.

Now, if I recall correctly, didn't the 8RDA+ have issues with single sticks of 512MB PC2700? Is it a better bet to go with two sticks of 256MB? And what brands should I avoid/consider for this mobo?

Thanks.

I've got 2 generic PC2700 512s (1GB each) running in a couple of 8RDAs and it's never caused a problem.

I have two sticks of generic 256MB PC2100 in my own system and it's rock solid. This system just doesn't seem to like its RAM.

HyperX, Twinmos....do a Google for some 8RDA+ reviews...check out what they're successfully running

Yeah, I've been putting in 2700 hyper x chips in and they've been running great!

Crucial, that's what I have, it's overclocked and it works fine.

This topic has been beaten to death....check out the 8RDA+ thread in the motherboard section, where people post their system builds!!!! Personally, I would go with HyperX.
