What memory for Athlon 64?

[Com807877]

Hi all,

I just have two quick questions about memory for an Athlon 64 system.

1. Can DDR266 memory be used?

2. What speed of memory is recommended for a non-overclocked system?

Thanks!

hi, nice avatar.

yes, 266 can be used, but 3200 is recommended for best performance.

i suggest 2 of these

DDR266 can only be used if your motherboard supports it.

Can't go wrong with RAM for the A64, just the motherboard. Any of the new 2nd generation motherboards (Via Pro's Extreme eds. or nforce 3 250 pros), will work great.

Anand.com has also glorified OCZ's 3500 EB ram modules in many reviews on their site for the use of the A64. But in all honesty any 2.5 Cas PC3200 and above ram would work great.
