I'm waiting to order my P5B deluxe board but first I need some new DDR2 ram to replace my old DDR 1GB ram. Since I have heard of quite a few compatability issues with the new c2d boards and RAM I thaught I'd check to see if these RAM choices were compatable before I go ahead and order.

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL) £154.99 (£182.11 Including VAT at 17.5%)
It's currently on this weeks only at OCuk.

I've also been considering some of the G.SKILL memory, any P5B users tried these? The G.SKILL Ram seems is a little less expensive as well.

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 PK PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit £144.99 (£170.36 Including VAT at 17.5%)

and well, theres also the Corsair

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB) (MY-092-CS)

Any advise would be appriciated. Usage will be mostly 3D modelling and animation/rendering and some mixed CS2 usage.

Any other suggestion of better RAM or lower priced RAM would be awesome!

Thanks
 
Dont get the G.skill PK set, ive heard its rubbish.


This G.skill set is meant to be very good tho: G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 ;)

And also the geil is very good too!
