Question - how reliable and inclusive are MB manufacturers Qualified Vendors Lists? And if they aren't so, what other reliable sources are available to determine compatible, non-problematic RAM. I'm interested in possibly installing 4 gigs DDR3 1600MHz, 2 gig sticks, in a Rampage Extreme. Asus' QVL in quite limited-and is their QVL solely indicative of the RAM they've tested on a MB with all other RAM manufacturers not being able to make the cut or what, or is ASUS web site just lacking? I've read on a number of different sites that people had used OCZ, Crucial, Corsair, etc, 2 gig sticks without a problem. They aren't listed in ASUS QVL Mushkin does not make the ASUS QVL at all.
Having used Mushkin in the past, I'm leaning toward their 2 gig sticks. Their forum site also ran memory tests showing their Ram works on this board. But having said that, where does a consumer go to in order to make an intelligent, ultimately confident buying decision in compatible RAM for a particular MB, quite an important decision by the way? Any knowledge or observation much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
