P5GD2 Deluxe + OCZ DDR2
Hi I'm wondering if anyone has tried this combination. According to the OCZ
site, one of the recommended products for my board is: http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...00_gold_series This isn't on the Asus "qualified vendors list". Does this mean anything or should it work anyway. TY |

Does this mean anything or should it work anyway. TY No intelligence goes into the Asus QVL. They test what they have on hand, and don't even seem to be bribed by the memory companies. Just because a product is not on the Asus list, does not imply anything about its operation. Similarly, when a memory company lists products they think will work with your motherboard, it does not mean they have tested it. Some companies look at the paper specification for the motherboard, and recommend memory based on that. There are probably 10,000 different motherboard models out there, and no company can afford to buy all of them. The best kind of "QVL", is feedback from other users. Occasionally, someone will make a blanket statement, that company "X" memory chips don't work with chipset "Y". If you cannot see underneath the heat spreader on a module, that knowledge is mostly useless. The companies making DIMMs, reserve the right to change memory chip suppliers at any time, which means a module that is "good" today, can be "bad" tomorrow. The only thing that buying a brand name memory gets you, is the reputation behind the company. If a company is known to cut corners, in terms of product testing, that gets known pretty quickly. (Say, for example, a lot of people claim they had to return their "value memory", to find a good one.) Use the Newegg site, and if a memory module has enough reviews written about it by customers, you may get an idea of how good the product is. Paul |
