Hi everyone, this is my first post but I have been looking at Toms for a while now....

I want to know what you think the best RAM would be for this MOBO?

http://www.uabit.com/index.php?opt [...] &model=333

I am also considering going for a new video card...since my mobo is SLI I am not sure if I should go with a Nvidia card? I use a 22' monitor and I have been waiting for the 4870x2 to come out and I wanted to wait and see what happens with that.

Thanks guys!

EDIT: I would like keep the ram price around 100-150

Corsair,PQI,Buffallo,Stay away from Crucial, Make sure voltage setting in bios match what you buy.....just get good name brand memory and it will be fine

Read this, it might help:

You could get two 8800GT cards, for example. Or, if you don't mind waiting a bit and want more speed, a single 4870x2. I understand it will be around $500, btw.

What kind of PSU do you have?

I have a toughpower 750...

I think my mobo only supports up to 800 for ram.

BTW, thanks for that web site, I think that will help once I put the ram in and try to get it at the speed it should be at.
