Hello

I recall reading somewhere that this MB is notorious with memory problems. I'm looking to buy Corsair or Kingston memory (dual channel). Kingston is very expensive so I'm seriously considering Corsair. Corsair - toss up between the value range and the XMS 2 (have a tight budget). Am I going to run into problems with this memory? I'd like to get the DDR2-800 but my budget will probably only allow for the DDR2-667, but this memory has not been tested on the recommended list.

Or if some-one can recommend something else?

Thanks

I have a Corsair XMS2 and works perfectly fine to me. If you are going to OC alot go with the DDR2-800 but if you only want to do a little OC stick with the DDR2-667.

I would recommend you getting the Corsair XMS2 but if you are in a budget go with G.Skill, as this Memory is pretty good for the price.
