Help needed (DDR2 Upgrade)

[mtjdavis]

Im going to be getting a E8500 Wolfdale and Asus Maximus Formula soon.

Ive started looking at memory but theres so much choice im not sure what to pick, also not helped by me not seeing much difference between them.

So im after Memeory to go with the above, ive got about £100-£160 to spend.

I was thinking 4GB of 8500+ ?

Any reccomendations ?

You can either go with 8500+ which will be C5 timings, or 6400 at C4 (not the C5 stuff) this will bw cheaper and should be able to go upto 8500 speeds when set to C5 timings. i went for the ballistix 6400 which is actually on offer still i think. clocked this to well over 1000 Mhz but currently running at 1000Mhz at 2.2v.
