can i run it on my board?

[KOBK83]

hi all
this is my board: http://ie.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/Maximus_Extreme/#specifications

cpu: http://ark.intel.com/products/29765...cessor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)

can i run them rams? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-292-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387
if not what ram you'd recomend?

what is faster 2x4 gb or 4x2 bg?
pardon my english

the ram link you provided is wrong, but you will need ddr3, and there are many variants supplied by overclockers like these

these are pretty cheap and on offer this week

thanks

fixed ram link

no, that board will only go to 1800mhz not the 1866 the ram runs at

The ram might work, as with the 1600mhz you will need to overclock the FSB to get the ram speed.

my set up:
mobo: http://ie.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/Maximus_Extreme/#specifications
cpu: http://ark.intel.com/products/29765...cessor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)
cpu cooler: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=hs-005-an&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
ram: http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ddr3-pc3-10666-platinum-edition.html (4x1Gb)
gpu: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-114-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341

what am trying to do? i want to push my mobo fsb and cpu to max us possible, got to 470 mobo fsb at 7 cpu multi.., but my rams keep failing, so tot i putt rams with high MHz.

Just grab this Kinston set: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

You can always lower the RAM multiplier if it starts to become the bottleneck.
