Sneaky said:ps: i saw in your soon-to-be rig specs, you said 1gb of DDR400 - all intel 925 chipsets use DDR2 memory only, which comes in performance flavors of ddr2-533 & ddr2-667 (OEM flavors also inclue DDR2-400)
MSGT_RAVEN said:I looked at the specs of the Fatal1ty and it says that DDR400 RAM can be used. Though I am thinking about gettin DDR2 RAM instead though it costs more.
batboy said:There is DDR2-400 RAM, in fact I have some (PM me if you are interested). But, this ain't the same as regular DDR400. Rest assured, the AA8XE will only use DDR2 RAM. I'm 100% positive. I also have 2X512 of Kingston HyperX PC2-5400 that overclocks very well (got a screenie at DDR2-800). But, if you want tight timings, the OCZ EB rev 2 PC2-4200 that I'm currently running is very impressive (3-2-2-8).
batboy said:I never even tried using 3-2-2-6, just always used 3-2-2-8. Hmmm, maybe I need to play around a little more.
A word of warning for those with Abit AA8XE mobos, you probably need the latest BIOS for this RAM to work.
