DDR500 in P4P800 Deluxe?

[Greystone]

Anyone know if DDR500 (PC4000) memory will work in this mobo?

Yes, the two are compatible.

Any recommendations on what manufacturer to use? I currently have Kingston HyperX DDR400 and am experiencing major problems (cannot run in dual channel mode for some reason, system becomes completely unstable--any suggestions?). I had thought of OCing to 1Ghz FSB (2.4C = 3.2Ghz), which would run the memory fully at that speed.

Thanks for any info!

Based on the reviews/feedback i've read i'd say that OCZ provides the best memories for overclocking - 1:1 ratio - with this chipset.

cannot run in dual channel mode for some reason, system becomes completely unstable--any suggestions?

Tried adjusting memory timings and/or memory voltage? Individually tested these memory modules for errors with Memtest?

I'm running HyperX DDR400 on that motherboard and everything is quite stable now. Wasn't always though. Here are my settings.

AI Overclock - Standard
Performance Mode - Turbo

SPD - Disabled
CAS# Latency - 2.0
RAS# Precharge - 3.0
RAS to CAS Delay- 2.0
Precharge Delay - 6.0
Burst Lenght - 4.0

Memory Acceleration Mode - Disable (read a good article somewhere that said this board is faster if you enable Turbo and disable memory acceleration.)

Graphic Aperature Size - 128

Give these a try and see how your system runs.

Read Anandtech.com's ddr500 memory roundup. They say the OCZ wins.

Looks like you have your puter up an running. I'm using HyperX PC3500 P4 2.4C IS7 mobo. OC to 3.0 running stable.
