I'm thinking of making the leap again... Last time with the GA-8IHXP and

it
had memory issues... Now I'm looking at the 8KNXP and it appears to have
issues as well... I read the Kingston 3500 is the way to go and that
Corsair is not... Is that correct??? What other brands should be
considered?

I have the GA-8IK1100, and started off with a couple Corsair XMS 256
MB sticks for a total of 512 MB. It ran okay, and I even got it up to
440 mhz in dual-channel mode. (this was PC3200 stuff)

However, I succumbed to the 'faster is better' theory, and bought some
Geil PC3700, 256MB sticks. I'm now running them at 466mhz in dual
channel mode ... amazing. Just works out great with my FSB set to 232
mhz on my P4 2.6 800mhz cpu, as I can run over 3ghz and memory keeps
up nicely.
