Asus P5WD2 (955 and 975) memory compatibility ?

[Ach3r0n]

What brands/type of memory has everyone tried on these boards (and what bios revision do you have)? I've heard about some memory compatibility issues with this board (as well as the Abit). Anyway, what does work?

2gb of PQI 667 runs at the correct frequency but not 4gbs...I've been trying to find a fix for a few days. Some say they exchanged for 4 more sticks and another said it was the mobo.

had 1 gb. of OCZ EB Rev. 2 LE PC-4200 3-2-2-8 running all kinds of high clock speeds with the tightest timings of 3-2-2-6. Now I'm running 2gb of Mushkin eXtreme 6400(DDR2-800) at 864mhz 5-3-3-8, it will do 977mhz 5-3-3-8 w\2.4v.

Go to the forum on the Asus website. There are a number of posts regarding this (wish I would have seen it before buying the board).
