I already asked this question on the ASUS forum & didn't have much luck, so I thought I'd give this one a shot since it's really more of a RAM question...

Tomorrow I'm receiving components for a whole new PC. In this package I'm receiving an ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus MB ( http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1567&l1=3&l2=11&l3=495 ) & 2 gig of G. Skill DDR2 800, PC2-6400 RAM ( http://www.gskill.com/indexen.html ). (Click on the F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK link).

The RAM's timings are 4-4-3-5. Is this good or bad? I'm still unclear as to understanding timings...

QVL list: http://usa.asus.com/100/download/products/1459/1459_10.pdf

This RAM does not show up on the QVL list & I was told it was a newer RAM so that it may work with the board & just may not be on the list.

Can anyone please tell me if they know if this RAM will work or do I need to consider buying RAM directly from the QVL list?

Thanks in advance!

I sent an e-mail to ASUS & they had told me to contact G. Skill. G. Skill replied (promtly!) & said the RAM has been tested with that motherboard & it DOES work!!!

(in case anyone's interested... :wink: )

To answer your last question, 4-4-3-5 is good timing. Though if you plan to o/c the ram i would go with Patriot Extreme or Buffalo FireStix they are both compatible and will do a much better job on overclocking.
