What RAM can I choose for this MB?

Corsair or OCZ. Only 2 brands that i would buy. As far as low power consumption goes. RAM really doesnt use really anything from what i understand. but i would figure that the lower speed ram is less on juice . Like 667Mhz

Understood, I will forget the power issue with these ram However I will definately not be overclocking this motherboard.

I will go with DDR2-800.

w00t ne time man.

You must have just had badluck Bilbat, For over several years I have built machines with Corsair and OCZ, Of coarse i have seen sticks go bad, ive seen everything go bad. But the overall consistency over Kingston, Buffalo Tech, Patriot and other various companys exponentially.

There is always a chance that it could happen. Same thing if you buy a Brand New BMW or high end automobile. The Tranny could take a dive pulling out of the dealers lot. Once things make it past its initial burn in period it will probley last years if its of good brand and quality.

G.skill i havent really dealt with nearly as much as the other brands but overall its a good product also from what i hear.

I would never buy the stuff, and so have no direct experience - I'm only going by what I see here, answering six to twelve posts a day, for the last five or six months; besides basic SPD problems, the most damning symptom (and I think the count is up to four of these) is that Corsairs appear to 'degrade' over time, causing a once working OC to simply fail, with MemTest86+ pointing to the RAM setup - either slow it down, or replace the RAM... I have, unfortunately, not kept track to know whether this is just one offending part number, or a more generically distributed problem. They do seem to have done an excellent job, however, of their pieces to support the i7/x58 systems - theirs seem to be one of the few that work consistently...
