Forgot to Say I will be upgrading to a quad core in the next couple of months when they frop down in price a little.. So really I wnat it to be a bit more futureproof as well.

Thanks Guys

The Cellshock Memory will do 1000MHZ quite easily, and that will be plenty fast enough.

Yep thats still good Memory, but the Cellshock will overclock slightly easier.

I mate

yeap Cellshock and also TeamExtreem( TeamGroup) are top of the line
but, IMO ,if money is no problem,buy PC2 8000 or PC2 8500 speeds ( so you could use it at 1:1 with cpu fsb without the stress of the overclocked ram)

Kingy1968 · 15 Jun 2007 at 23:22

So I woudnt benefit from the 1066 or the 1150 memory compared to the 800mhz stuff???

Thanks

your P5B is capable of 500 fsb (maybe even a little more - mine does 530fsb)

and the lower divisor is 1:1
so in order to not overclock the ram you need some stuff capable of running at 500 fsb at stock (PC2 8000)

this thread from Cob is interesting

ive just called Overclockers and told them the specs of my machine and they told me to go for the Crucial Ballistix 8500 on special this week at £100...

I hope ive done the right thing by ordering this.. :confused:

Any Comments on if ive shagged up or done the right thing??

Thanks

eheh

at least you do not need to overclock it

wich is a good thing

my advice- run it at 1.9V / 2.V,so they stay cool and last longer
