New System: RAM question

silverbullet50 · 05-12-2008, 12:20 PM

Heres the system that I have built for my new computer, I am hoping for a RAM recommendations (Timings, Speed, Brand, etc...)

Heres the System
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

EVGA 512-P3-N861-AR GeForce 9600GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card (Times 2 in SLI)

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E4500

APEVIA X-Navigator ATXA8NW-SS/500 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pulling the hard drives from my previous rig
1x 350GB Seagate running at 7200 RPM
1x 75GB Raptor running at 10000 RPM

Again, just hoping for some suggestions about RAM. I tried to do some research but found it difficult to find anything about RAM chooses, but i do know that its extremely dependent on the rest of your system. Thanks.

Highly recommend you go to 4AllMemory and use their [Check My System] applet.

First, I have no affiliation with 4AllMemory.

Using the button will download this small and temporary applet and it will check your motherboard and return a WEB page showing you memory choices that are an exact match to your motherboard. I highly suggest you print this page for your records.

When it comes to memory, it must be an exact match to your motherboard. Which is why this tool is outstanding. Note you don't have to buy from then, but at least you'll know what you need.
