RAM for A7N8X Deluxe?

[sh4nsen]

I was wondering what ram to get, i live in hawaii so i dont want to have to send back ram thats incompatible and wait for a replacement.

I was thinking of going witht he Corsair XMS 3200 at newegg, but 123 bucks seems pretty steep to me. Any other suggestions? I really dont want any memory compatibility issues at ALL.

The A7N8X is a mature board and I haven't seen a report of incompatible memory in months. I'm using XMS 2700, but I think that Buffalo, Mushkin, Kingston, Samsung, Crucial, or Micron would also be good. Newegg had a special on 512MB of Kingston HyperX 3500 for 123 USD. What bios version are you using? Since 1003 for 1.xx boards and 1004 for 2.0 boards, compatibility seems good. Peace.

I only use Corsair now. Have you considered used RAM? I rebuilt my secondary system last month with an Abit NF7-S 2.0. I got a set of Corsair 2x256mb TWINX2700LLPT from the For Sale forums for $83 shipped, which is currently $141 on Newegg.
