Best Memory For P35C DS3R

Big Kev · 18 Aug 2008 at 21:06

My mobo has blown the first two slots near the cpu and I can't be bothered RMA'ing the board and reinstalling, so I'll probably stick with the board, but I only have two working DDR2 slots spare.

I'm running my E2160 at 3G (9 x 333), so will probably get away with 800, so what will be my best bet for 2 x 2G (800) or would OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Platinum Series DDR2 still be worth it and are there any problems with 2G sticks in the Gigabyte?

I've used 4 sticks of these in my old DS3R: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-072-OC

So can't see a problem with it handling 8500 2 x 2 sticks.

I use these in mine (with F10 bios) and haven't had any issues so far.
