DOH - Another Credit cad magnet 
Thanks Gibbo 
So, has anyone got any experience with OCZ RAM on the "P5WDH-useless-handling-of-SPD-timings" thing ? My Geil Ultra pc6400 4-4-4-12 cannot run in the mobo at manual timings over around 367MHz.....due to the ASUSs poor handling of certain RAM timings......whereas I believe that other RAM (vendors) have done a slightly better job with their SPD tables and thus - even on automatic SPD detection on the motherboard - one should still get the x-x-x-x timings the RAM is capable of......did that make sense
Basically, can anyone advise (coherently !) one whether this RAM would be an upgrade or not really worth the fag and.......

From what i know DX10 games will most probably play smoother with 4gb, plus load times etc will be better. OCZ stuff are good overclockers.
I would like to buy some of the OCZ, but im only going to be able to afford to build the full pc end of this month, but worried that prices could rise again , so thought maybe I could buy the ram now to save just in case, but Im worried that the ram could be faulty when I actually build the pc down the line and then I dont have any warranty or refund to fall back on ?
What do you guys think I do ?
I dont have any machine capable of testing the ram, so would have to wait til i build my rig.

Nice one Gibbo, you are a star. Have been putting off my ram purchase to see if anything pops up, and you go and do this. Have been looking at the Platinum Rev.2 stuff for a while and seems like very good ram for the price (even better now 
).
A couple of questions though. Would be looking at putting it with either a E6400 or E6600 and clocking 3GHz+, would this ram be suitable. And also how long do you expect the price to be like that, as i may buy another 2GB in the near future?
Cheers

Using this on my P5B deluxe with a e6300 @ 2800 had it at 3325 with no mem problems but the arctic couldnt handle it after a while.
Bit miffed i payed nearly £170 couple a weeks ago.

Hi there
At CAS4 I believe they hit between 900-1000MHz and at CAS5 over 1000MHz should be fairly easy. For the price they are a bargain, the price won't go down any more and memory prices are beginning to show signs of increasing again, though only slight.
