Motherboard and memory question
« on: May 06, 2008, 07:02:22 PM »
I'm going to build a computer and it will be my first.    I have decided on a E8400 processor and this is the motherboard I think I want. It is a gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard.

 I dont need anything fancy, just a motherboard, and this one seems to have good reviews for it.  Now my question is, I have heard about checking to make sure the ram is compatible with the motherboards.  How do I do that and what would you guys recommend?  The motherboard says it will support the 1066 mhz ram but I have no idea which particular ram I would want.

I'll eventually be building off the same board. I went with this RAM. Compared to the others, it seems pretty decent with good/great reviews and is the correct type for the board.

In case you're interested, here's links to the rest of my prospected build.

Case
Optical Drive
PSU
CPU
GPU
Water Cooling (For the hell of it, honestly.)
HDD

Go to the Gigabyte web-site and look up that board.  They will have a list of all compatible RAM.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
