Anu Comments on this ram

I have now received my K8NNXP and am now looking at ram. I have it
down to 2 Kingston Hyper x 3500 or Mushkin PC4000. Anyone use either
of these. I have used Mushkin in the past and their ram has always
worked well for me. I have never had to return 1 stick.

Thank You
Don Murphy

Here's the PC3200 list from Gigabyte:

Chances are good both Kingston and Muskin will work, provided you set speeds
and timings manually. You want non-ECC and unregistered PC3200 or faster.

Thank You

If you have no plans to exceed 200MHz, overclock, buying PC3500 or better is
unnecessary.

I have no plans to overclock. I need stable as this is a workstation
that I will be doing video editing on. I se now I only need PC3200
and I can get a better deal on Mushkin PC3200.

By all means, buy the Mushkin PC3200. Excellent stuff. I understand Fry's
has it on special from time to time.

Outpost had the Geil DDR400 dual "Basic" kits (512 and 1gig) on sale
for $189 last week. So far I've been very impressed and they are dead
stable at a much higher overclock then my previous Crucial sticks.
Despite their rated timing of 2.5, 4, 4, 8 even geil tech support says
to set them to 2.5, 3, 3, 6 and sure enough, they're dead stable at
this timing.

Crucial is a fine product, at or very near rated speed. I use it often, with
good results. It is not the best choice for overclocking. Corsair, Mushkin,
some BuffaloTech, and from what you report, Geil, are better choices.
