Which MOBO should I get (AMD Phenom ll x4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz processor)
AND which RAM should I get for each board (Check to make sure its on the compatibility chart for each MOBO)


THANK YOU!

Get the Gigabyte, and RAM could be this:

1- http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL3KIT25664TN1608 (IMO the best option)
2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365
3- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227381 (A good option too)
4- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148253
5- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224

are there any 2x2g instead of 3x2g?

 

[nekko]

and are those on the compatible list on gigabytes web site? :/

This:

1- http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL2KIT25664TN1608 (Low voltage is better)
2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227448
3- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227320
4- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145268

 

[nekko]

okay, thank you. But how do I know they are compatible, are they on the list?

 

[saint19]

Some of the first list, yes, in the second none.

But that the memory isn't in the list, not means that it don't works.

Why would you suggest triple channel RAM kits designed for the Intel i7 chips on an AMD board? All the above kits would run in single channel mode on anything but an LGA 1366 motherboard.

I would get one of these kits for those motherboards:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH - Retail $89.99

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996652 - Retail $89.99 - $15 MIR

^Yes are triple channel, but in AMD mobo can run in dual channel.

I'd like to see proof of that because it's simply not true.

Here's a link to the motherboard owners manual for the Gigabyte motherboard.

Have a read of pages 16 & 17.

I am thinking about getting this RAM that shortstuff suggested...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231276

Would it work with that mobo?

 

[shortstuff_mt]

Yes, that RAM will work great with either motherboard listed above.

 

[nekko]

sweet, I think i'm gunna get the gig board and that ram

 

[shortstuff_mt]

That's a nice combination. Good luck with the build!
