Nforce2 Duall Channel DDR, will these memories work?

[Actaeon]

My friend is on a budget, looking to spend $200 on a Nforce2 Mobo and some DDR ram.

I found the Epox Nforce2 for $88 at newegg, so that leaves him with $112.

He can spend a little extra, I want him to make use of the Dual Channel DDR setup.

I found this for $60 each dimm

CRUCIAL MICRON 256MB 32x64 PC 2700 DDR RAM - OEM
184-Pin, CL=2.5-Unbuffered 2.5V, 6-Layers CT3264Z335 Requires DDR supported Motherboard - Lifetime Warranty. OEM Model#: CT3264Z335 -OEM Special Free FedEx Saver Shipping

Will that work in a Dual Channel DDR setup? Anybody have any experience with that memory?

Thanks
Jonathan

Crucial should be just fine

Lately the "chic" mfg. made RAM has been Samsung, but I've always had excellent results from Crucial. I think MichaelD was running a stick of Crucial 512MB PC2700 with good results until he got his Corsair back from RMA. Might wanna see his results with it. Also, if your friend can hold off a few days, reports from across the Pacific indicate sharp declines in RAM prices after the Chinese New Year. We'll find out shortly.

Also, the + model of 8RDA is $105 plus s/h from mwave.com. If your friend felt that the addition of 5.1 sound, Firewire and another two USB 2.0 outlets would be worth the extra money, there you go

I saw some Kingmax modules with the Kingmax TinyBGA chips for $60 per 256Mb PC3200 module at mwave.com but haven't heard remarks from people who've run them.
