Good Ram for Abit AV8?

[Elfear]

Well, I'm completely flabergast that OCZ PC3500 EB isn't compatible with this mobo so I guess I need to find some other good ram. Does anybody have some suggestions? I was thinking Crucial Ballistix PC3200 or GEIL Ultra X PC3200 as I've heard they're very good stuff and perform on par with my OCZ but I don't know if they are compatible. I'm looking for something that performs well from DDR400-510 speeds.

nice choice on the mobo. I got the same one. I bough OCZ Plat rev 2 PC3200 400mhz

See you need something else though. Choose from their recommended list or check out Corsair. I've expereinced no problems with Crucial ram.

I thought about the OCZ Plat rev 2, but I'm a little worried it will be incompatible like my ram is.

I found that a lot more ram is usually compatable with many mobos tham that that is on the recomended list. I found that if you write to the ram maker and ask them, they usually provide a satisfactory answer.

With that in mind, I recomend PDP. Great ram, great timings, very stable (24 hours Prime95 stable), and have MUCH better prices than other name brands! What's not to like? If they have what you want, and it's compatabile, I recommend giving them a spin! If you don't believe me, just google up some PDP reviews. I think you'll be impressed!
