What RAM for P5W DH Deluxe? | Corsair | G.Skill | GeIL |

[Ktaan]

CPU - E6600
HSF - Scythe Ninja Plus (with 120mm fan)
MOBO - P5W DH Deluxe (intel 975x)
GFX - HIS ATI Radeon X1800 GTO ICEQ3 (to be flashed to a X1800XT)
PSU - Seasonic S12-600W
HD - Hitachi T7K250
CASE - Jeantech Phong II

All the above have already been ordered and are making their way towards me now. They are exactly what I need from this machine; the GFX are plenty for me, I only play WoWarcraft and the CPU needed for Vid/DVD encoding.

I went for the mobo as it will allow me for X-Fire sometime in the future.

Only component missing is the RAM, and thats why im posting here, I need a little help choosing.
I know I want 2x1Gb. I know I want 800mhz
I read Wusy's post about C2D OC'ing and the recomendation for "DDR2-800 4-4-4-xx good for 500Mhz+"

I am also worried about reports of ASUS boards being picky about RAM makes.

Picking from a good UK supplier I have found the following options:

£146.86 ($279.54)

I picked up some Patriot RAM for my Asus P5W DH deluxe. I've never tried patriot RAM before and don't even know who supplies their chips -- it'll be a new adventure for me. Almost went with OCZ.

The Patriot model: PDC22G8000 +XBLK
2GB PC2 - 5300 (3-3-3), PC2 8000 (4-4-4)

-- claim to be able to run at 2.4v

I'll find out this weekend.

I wanted this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=20-145-033

But sells very quickly and I missed my auto-notify. Oh well.

Can't seem to find Patriot RAM for sale in the UK. i've heard alot of USA people talking about it tho.

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL)


From Overclockers. Should get this monday........
