Am putting together components for new build. I have Mushkin 4GB (2x2GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual channel kit Model 996580 (Mushkin enhanced Blackline); and Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @2.83 GHz LGA775.
Still need a motherboard. Does anyone know if this memory is compatible with a DFI LanParty UT P45-T2RS LGA 775 motherboard.
I also have Antec 900 case; Corsair HX620W ps; WD320Gb and Seagate 500Gb SATA hard drives; Samsung SATA cd/dvd burners(2); one EIDE floppy drive: Nvidea GEForce 8500GT video; Sound Blaster Audigy2-ZS sound card. All components are new except the sound card. My OS will be Windows7.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I'm a rookie when it comes to this stuff.

They should work fine w/ that board, even though those particular modules aren't listed in the memory support list. MB manufacturers can't test every single brand and combination of RAM, so the list of compatible DRAM modules that they provide is normally just a small percentage of what will work w/ a particular board. These were the Mushkin DDR2-800MHz models tested w/ the P45-T2RS...

Code:
DDR II 800 mushkin 512 Mushkin EM2-6400-55512-1GD Single 512 EM2-6400-55512-1GD mushkin Single 
DDR II 800 mushkin 1024 Mushkin EM2-6400-55512-2GD Double 1024 EM2-6400-55512-2GD mushkin Double 
DDR II 800 mushkin 512 Mushkin THP2-6400-45411-1GD Single 512 THP2-6400-45411-1GD mushkin Single 
DDR II 800 mushkin 1024 Mushkin THP2-6400-45411-2GD Double 1024 THP2-6400-45411-2GD mushkin Double
 
redduc900: Thanks for your reply. Another question: Do you know if the Mushkins would be compatible with the DFI LanParty DK P35-T2RS board. They aren't listed on the memory support list for that board either.

I don't know for sure, but there's really no reason why they wouldn't work. Some boards are more particular than others when it comes to RAM, so unless you can find someone that's used those exact modules w/ either board, it's more or less going to be a crapshoot.
 
redduc900: I found someone who used these Mushkins with the DFI LanParty DK
P35-T2RS with no problems. He recommended them also because of the timings. Of course I lack your knowledge and experience but I guess I'll go with this board because the UT is much pricier and I don't see significant advantages for the price difference. Thanks again for your help. I'll be back when I've made more progress.
