Hi
Building a new PC and have a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 motherboard. I was going to use G.Skill (4GB x 2 GB) 240- Pin DDR2- SDRAM 800 duel channel RAM but Gigabyte don't show G.Skill in their compatibility lists. Has anybody used this RAM and mobo together successfully?
Thanks

Any memory will work as long as the voltage is correct. Stock voltage 1.8 is common with many sticks of ram. See my build...

I have personally used Corsairs Dominators XMS2, kingston hyperX, OZC gold editions, OZC platinums, Crucial Ballistics and Tracers, Geil, and G Skill (all pc6400 or pc8500 for the kingstons and corsairs; 2 sticks of 1 GB) with the P35 gigabyte ds3-L. This board and your board are in the same family so there should be no issue with the G skill or the motherboard. If need be; you might have to bumb your voltages on the motherboard to run that ram at it's rated speed but you should still post regardless.

Are you sure ??
I do not agree with you that voltage is the issue
If you take a certain mobo say Asus Rampage Formula and check QVL
http://www.asus.com/999/download/p [...] 070_10.pdf
Say we need 2X1024MB DDR2 800 sticks from Kingston

Part No. KHX6400D2LL/1G is DS ( Double Sided ) and supported as single and 2sticks but not 4
Timing 4-4-4-12 2.0V has 16X64MB IC's

Part No. KHX6400D2LLK2/1GN is SS(Single Sided) supported as single stick not 2 nor 4
Timing 4-4-4-12 2.0V ( this is a kit of 2X512MB) each one has 8X64MB IC's

Part No. KVR800D2N5/1G is DS (double sided ) supported as 1, 2, 4 sticks
CL5 1.8V has 16X64MB IC'c

Part No. KHX6400D2ULK2/1G is SS ( single sided ) supported as 1, 2, 4 sticks
Timing 3-3-3-10 2.35V ( Kit of 2X512MB ) each one has 8X64MB IC's

Iam dying to know the secret of compatibility in order to buy 2X2048MB DDR2 800 G.skill memories for my Asus Rampage Formula and unfortunately they are not listed in QVL as if this brand does not exist
