What memory would be good with the ip35-e?

[btcomm1]

I've read a lot of positive things about this board as far as overclocking.

I'm planning on getting Q6600 G0 stepping with this board and I want the best price/performance ram I should get?

I'm looking to start off with 2 1 GB sticks of ram.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Best value is Kingston N5 1.8V DDR2 667. Easy 400MHz with 2.1Vdimm.

If you want faster timing then go with Kingston N5 1.8V DDR2 800. You can also push these module up to +450MHz with 2.1Vdimm and 4-4-4-12-2T timing. No problem running four sticks with this board. I use N5 DDR2 800 will all of my rigs.

So even though this ram is really cheap it is very good for overclocking?

Don't be fooled by the regular low price. These are very high quality ICs. A few here were able to hit 400MHz/4-4-4-12-2T with only 1.95Vdimm with N5 DDR2 667.

These RAMs don't go on sale. $56 is still more than those overpriced RAMs after rebate.

So even though it's value ram, it's very good?

Anytime I see the word value and ram I think this is lower end stuff ,but hey if it's one of the best for overclocking then I suppose I will get it.

Search this board to see how many users were able to achieve very respectable overclock with N5 DDR2 667 or 800 RAMs.
