Alright, long story short. I need 2 GB of ram to run EQ2 smooth. I'm upgrading from an older 2.0A system to either a 3.0E or 3.2E or 3.4E. So far the cheapest motherboard I can find is the P4P800 SE on Newegg.com. What I'm having a hard time with is finding ram that will work in all 4 slots. I do what to overclock at least to 220 FSB with Cas3 settings.

Does anyone know if these would work on this motherboard?

I'm also open for any 4 X 512MB options because money is tight, so I can't buy it all at one time.

I have a nice BFG 6800 GT OC AGP and don't feel like going to the new stuff just yet...

First of all, I'd pass on the 848P boards and get a board with good performance, like the Abit IS7 (packed with features) for $90. If you want to save even more, you can scale down to the Economy versions, IS7-E or IS7-E2, but I wouldn't.

The 875P and it's dirivative 865PE prefer to have more banks filled, so using 4 modules is a good idea. But if you're choosing a low-performance board for your performance increase I'm not even going to bother helping you with RAM.
