Ram question with new mobo

[jtgolden1s]

I am wanting to run sli and was thinking about getting this new motherboard. My ram is 1600 and this one 2200(O.C.) and 1333. Could I run my ram if I clocked it down to 1333 or O.C.'d it to 2200?

Intel?
AMD?

The 'problem' is if you're running the RAM at DDR3-1600 on any AMD Phenom (x4 or x6) without either a FSB -> 240MHz <or> CPU-NB Frequency -> 2400MHz then it'll be unstable. In addition, quite often the 4GB densities require a BIOS update.

Q - What EXACT set of RAM ; please provide a link.
Q - What BIOS version?

Next, the ASUS M4A87TD EVO won't/doesn't support SLI. However, most of the new AM3+ 990FX do support SLI; you just need to double-check.

Q - What budget for a new AM3+ MOBO?

The above link is the mobo I am wanting if my ram will work for it. I was wanting to downclock it if possible.

I am not sure my bios version

The DDR3-1600 RAM can run, but as I mentioned you'll need to OC the FSB or CPU-NB Frequency or in this case the ASUS has a DOCP setting

AI Overclock Tuner -> DOCP
DRAM OC Profile -> DDR3-1600
DRAM Timing Configuration /Enter or Manual
DRAM CAS -> 9
DRAM RAS to CAS -> 9
DRAM RAS to PRE -> 9
DRAM RAS ACT -> 27
-
DRAM Voltage -> 1.64v~1.65v
