OPTERON 165 Socket 939 - RAM/Mainboard for OC?

[mhmayr]

Hi Guys!

I' ve just bought one of the last Opterons 165 boxed Socket 939 (Stepping E6). Now I'm looking for the ideal combination of mainboard and RAM for Overclocking.
Could somebody give me an advice? I would prefer 2x1024Mb RAM , should be better for future software(?) I think.

Thanks!

Greetings
Mike.

Thank you for fast answering!

OK, so I will take the DFI Lanparty nf4 Ultra D!

From OCZ Technical Support I've got the following email:

"The PC-3200 2GB Platinum Edition Kit offers low latency operation in a 2GB Kit. If you want to overclock, as many users do, we manufacture PC-4000 2GB Gold Edition memory. The latency is not aggressive, but it will perform very well when pushed to 250MHZ due to increased bandwidth on the chipset/CPU. 3-4-3-8 timings are actually faster than the typical 3-4-4-8 timings of most 2GB PC-4000 modules.

I think that you should go with PC-3200 2GB Platinum Edition. You can run it at a 5/4 ratio and overclock your CPU while running at low latency and I believe this would give you the best possible performance."

What do you think about that?
