What 1.8V DDR2 RAM for Intel P965 board??

[Raider1284]

Well I hope everyone that was trying to buy that newegg patriot ram for $180 did so already. It was going in and out of stock today so I thought I would buy it the instant it came back in stock. Well I got my order in at $180 and went out of stock 10 minutes later. Well I checked back on it tonight and look what its at now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220095

how so? It's $250 and not even 1.8 V?

where are you guys getting 1.8v only!? There's tons of people running Corsair, OCZ, G.Skill, Patriot, Crucial etc that does not state 1.8v what so ever.

I,ve been told that there may be a compatibility problem. So this morning I call Asus, and the tech told me when I asked if this memory worked on his board" they don't test memory", so how do they design their product, and make recommendations for particular memory? He says that the manufacturers send the data to them! Absolutely no help!

Next I call Patriot, and I ask if their product is compatible with the Asus P5B, and he tells me that they haven't had the chance to obtain a test sample, and specifications of their memory "should" work, "but there is always a chance that the mobo won't like this particular brand of memory"!

I've spent more on the memory, than the total cost of the mobo itself, for good quality memory, and a great mobo, and both manufacturers, can't and won't communicate with each other, and could care less about consumer support!

So after all the ranting, does anyone yet have a similar configuration( E6400, P5B, and Patriot pdc22g6400llk 1gx2 ddr2 pc2 6400), up and running?

Plug it in and try for yourself. Nobody can look into a magic crystal ball and tell you

I second that.

Only because lack of research on a specific model. The 2GBHZ is some of the best overclocking memory on the P965 platform.
