Hi,

Ive got an A7N8X Deluxe v2.0 board currently running a 2600+ XP and 2

sticks
of 512Mb PC2700 Kingmax RAM.

As prices of the 3200+ XP have dropped sharply Im looking at buying this

CPU
and running the system and RAM on a 400Mhz FSB, as I dont wish to

overclock
or run my current CPU at a higher FSB.

The question is what types of RAM besides Corsair, OCZ and other premium
brands will work will in a 400Mhz FSB setup in an A7N8X Deluxe?. From
reading this group Ive noted that the board is picky with PC3200 Ram.

Here in Sydney Australia I have the following types of 512Mb modules
availiable to me and they are all about $190 AUD each, compared to about
$260-$300 for the premium brands.

- Apacer with a samsung chipset
- Kingmax super ram
- Kingston

I read a review of PC3200 modules in which corsair, OCZ, mushkin and

kingmax
were compared in a magazine called Atomic. Surprisingly the Kingmax Ram

beat
all the other brands hands down, and this is why I would like to stick

with
Kingmax.

Could people let me know if they are using any of the above brands in an
A7N8X Deluxe particularily Kingmax super ram.

Thanks in advance
