Two quick, but important questions...

[SS0582]

I really don't have the time to look through the thousands of posts on here so could someone please answer my questions or post a link if you want below and I'll be on my way:

(1) Has anyone experienced any problems using a WD Serial ATA150 HD with this board?

(2) What brand DDR400 RAM is best recommended with this mobo?

Any help, suggestions, links, hints, etc. would be most appreciated. Thanks guys!

1) I don't personally have a WD drive but a Seagate Serial 160 gb which works just fine on this board.

2) There are lots of opinions on which is best and it really depends on what you want to do. Any overclocking? If so you might want to get some ram with a reputation of being used in overclocked systems. Personally I use 1 gb (2x512) ddr400 PQI turbo ram with 2-3-2-5 settings on my OC'd x2 3800+

Hope that heps.
