MSI board with 8gb of DDR2-800

I'm curious if the MSI Neo2-FR P45 is a good board to put 4 x 2 gb of GSkill ram in, anyone with experience with it here? Thanks.

It should handle it as long as the board supports that much memory. The only time in which you might encounter issues if if you're overclocking. Some say that the extra "strain" on the motherboard because of the 4x memory sticks can make an OC less achievable than with 2 sticks. I've read many anecdotal posts by people who say that they had to nudge their OC down when all four banks were populated. If you're just OCing the CPU and running memory at stock or less, this might not really be a problem.

The P45 chipset can run up to 16GB of DDR2 memory. I am running 8GB of DDR2 800 on a P35 chipset which is its max. I do not foresee any issues with the newer chipset.
