ASUS V LK MOBO and RAM QVL

[meneedhelp]

hello all,

Do I need to check the QVL list when buying ram for an ASUS V LK MOBO...

I know the MOBO supports 1600 RAM but when I checked the RAM on sale for boxing day... i.e.:
it isn't listed on the VQL (Vendor Qualified List)...

Price: $35

or

Price: $30

if the above works.. then I guess the QVL list on the ASUS website sucks...


Any other recommendations for RAM would be great (NCIX, Canada Computers, TigerDirect - Boxing Day specials)

and Happy holidays
