QX6850 'Kentsfield'

gadget^ · 12 Jun 2007 at 10:10

anyone know if the above CPU will be ok with the Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit (anyone know if this will oc to 1333MHz) or am i taking to much of a chance ?

could anyone other wise recommend any ram to suit. building this beast in the morning.

The RAM speed when running sync with FSB should be DDR2 667 which is what your RAM is rated at, but your kit is very well known for achieving well beyond DDR2 1000 so it's perfectly suitable for that CPU.

'Tis fair enough that he's a friend of yours, but you really don't need to use that language on here. Spie would imply that it's a family forum (?!) so please mind your language. All you have to do is press the "edit" button and star it out.

Family? I don't think this is even a multi-gender forum.

Which is fine by me.

Youre absolutely right in that assumption. But I didn't want to get called up by the self-appointed police of the language fascists on here.
