I get blue screens or failure to boot if I change anything. The new chipset mobOs are not that much more and it is well worth the cash to lower bottleneck issues.

I have different RAM than you. But since you said that you're having issues with that RAM and mobo combo, this RAM should work just fine. It was what I was initially going to stick into my comp when I was building it.

However, something tells me that your problem is not a universal one, as most of the reviewers on newegg have the GSkill paired with that mobo, so I think you might've gotten unlucky.  :-\

I'm on my phone so I haven't checked the RAM is it cl7 or cl9? The max timings I can get are 8. But in general that mobo has barely any g.skill supported. But I did some research on mobos recently when amd launched the new chipsets for mobos and honestly they have much higher throughput and RAM support for maybe $50 more. I've got 3 saved on my newegg account that I was looking at I can post them when I get home. But in the meantime you should check out tomshardware reviews of the new northbridge and southbridge chipsets.

Both the G.Skill RAM and Corsair RAM are cl9. The RAM I am using is cl8, but it's almost twice as expensive.  :-X

As far as mobos go, you'll have to help me to find alternatives to the one I posted.

I was told by a friend of gumps that if I want to save cash, and have a efficient build is to grab these things instead of the original.

getting alittle more expensive, but if it's worth that cash.

Tsk.

Damn Blues, stealing my thunder, pointing out how you could better spend that $100 from the RAM on a better graphics card...

I still prefer WD though.

This is the board but it seems to be more expensive than I remember.

I think it is a typo, I looked up the supported RAM sheet and my g.skill cl7 RAM is on there. The other thing I found out from talking to g.skill tech support is that running 8 gigs on our mobo puts a lot of strain on it.

Edit: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=fL...templete=2

I learned to always check the supported memory before buying mobo and RAM
