What type of memory goes with this Mobo

Redigieren · 25-December-04, 09:59 PM

I have recently received an asus a8n-sli deluxe mobo with an athlon 64 fx-55.

What kind of memory should I use for this system?

I kind of like this 1GB kit of Patriot ram for 219$

Or PQI for a few bucks more (240$) both have Samsung TCCD chips inside

Would any of those help me reach my goal of overclocking the fx-55 to 3 ghz and more.
(i do plan on taking a visit to danger dens, hes only less than an hour away from me)

I was thinking about this one.

Would this be sufficient?

Luck of draw I guess with ram, all of the listed rams are TCCD which can get very high FSB if you loosen the ram timings.

That ram is the ****z, and you can drop a lower multi and raise the FSB to reach 3 gigs.

My friend got an AMD FX-55 in this week...we are having fun as I type this.

Really helps if they're Brainpower PCB. TCCDs in the first Corsair release on standard PCBs sucked. 250 max with sloppy timings even.

Here is a listing of memory with the Brain Power PCB, the latest versions are doing even better these days with high voltage.

If you can find it, this DDR600 is supposed to run up to DDR720 speeds

So even though the a8n is a limit at ddr400 buying ddr600 will give me better overclocking ability?

I can only find this.

And its not a dual channel kit.

Wrong stuff - the timings on that G.Skill are 3-4-4-10 @ 600. 2.5-4-4-8 @ 600 is the REALLY good stuff.
