Hey people what is your recomandation re this motherboard when it comes to RAM ??

I was going for Patriot as i heard lots of good stuff, but it wasn't listed in the Asus QVL how come?

What would you recommend as for OS, i have XP 32bit, XP 64bit & Vist Business 32bit

I will be running SLI x 2 9800GT but still have to buy them :)

I like Patriot or G.Skill both for price and overclocking.
XP and 2GB of ram is far more than most people need...XP is faster than Vista,has no DRM crap in it and -everything- runs on it becuase it was written to run on it!

XP and 2GB ram on any of my systems uses 49% of the physical ram when running 4 stand alone security programs,6 torrents and playing Frontlines:Fuel of War all at the same time.

Vista with 4GB of ram uses about the same amount of ram -just- to load the OS....and if you search the Web you will find you do not need Vista to run DX10 which many gamers with Vista have replaced with DX9 anyhow.
