More Information

I bought the GIGABYTE GA-EX38-DS4 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard and I was wondering if I should use DD2 800, 1066 or 1200 RAM with this board. I will be doing light OC'ing and gaming on a CF setup with a RAID hard drive config. Thanks in advance!

These Patriot sticks are a good price... Well all DDR2 is a good price now... lol. If it were me I would go PC8500 1066 it will give you more room to OC than 800 would. Plus its only a little bit more money than 800.
