P5B Deluxe

[kpamir]

Hello all

I just splurged on a E6600 and it should be in my hands by next week, now i plan on getting a Asus P5B deluxe 965 chipset and i am concerned about the ram. I have narrowed it down to 3 candidates.


OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-12

Mushkin EM PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-12

and

OCZ Platinum XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-5-4-15
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?...Z2P8002GK&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology

Now i know the last one is prolly the best but ive heard alot about OCZ ram using more voltage and thus being incompatible with certain motherboards. Frankly i dont care about having the tightest timings although i wouldnt mind it, BUT id rather go with one that will give me the least headaches.

IE not having to return, RMA, i dont wanna go through loops to get a replacement.

So out of these which would u choose, and if u have other suggestions give em to me, definetly would ddr2-800 and 2gigs.

Thanks.

For my P5B-D I got these twin Corsairs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590

I got my P5B already from ZZF and now waiting for everything else + e6600

Definetly considered the corsair but its more expensive then the other three.

Id definetly appreciate it if u can tell me how it all goes with ur setup when u get it.


Thanks.


Personally im leaning towards the Mushkins....... i know it doesnt matter but those green heatspreaders do it for me........ yeah i know lol.

Where'd you order your e6600 from?

i went to a local store, www.bigfootcomputers.com. The were supposed to get them in today but now the
ETA on it is sometime NEXT week, so hopefully it arrives within that ETA. Also a couple of stores got E6300s and E6400s in today.
