Does anybody know how critical it is to stick with ASUS' "Qualified Vendor List" for memory? I just got a A8V-E and a Corsair Value Select 1GB Dual Channel Kit (512x2). The Corsair memory is on the list, but only with type A support ("Supports one module in any slot as Single-Channel memory configuration"). The list does not indicate that dual channel is supported.
So I am wondering if I use both modules;
-Will the system be stable?
-Will it support dual channel?
-Will it support DDR400 without dual channel, or some other slower support?
-Can I tweak the settings, to make it work at full speed (dual channel ddr 400).
I am thinking about sending back the Corsair for Kingston, but don't want to pay the restocking fee (or have to wait). I still haven't installed anything yet until I finish backing up.
Thanks!
