Nooby 146 dilema!!!!!!!!

Rusty · 10-December-05, 12:39 PM

Hope u guys can help a nooby with his first post question.
Have bought an Opty 146 cabne and a DFi Lan party sli board in the hope of overclocking this bad boy to 3ghz. My question is probably going to sound stupid but what RAM should I go with?
I live in Ireland so ram that i can get in the UK or Europe would be easier to get my hands on.

Well I too have the DFI lanparty SLI and a brand new Opteron 146 CABYE, and after reading Big Akitas' review on the corsair platinum pc4000 xms dual channel 2gb kit I had to buy some. I am very happy with my computer and also recommend the ram. I think it was about $260 from newegg.com

Thanks for the welcome guys and also for the advice. My 146 is on the way and i,m hoping to get down to building after christmas.

You can use pretty much any RAM, because the vast majority of motherboards support RAM dividers. When increasing your FSB, your RAM speed will increase as well, so you will either need to buy some RAM that can handle over DDR400 (like OCZ's PC4800 Platinum Elite Edition), or run RAM dividers to keep the RAM under 200Mhz (DDR400).
