Ip35 pro and 8 Gb of which memory for 64bit.

[Oscat]

At present I am running 4x1 Crucial Ballistics PC8500 at 1020, with 3Gb switch in Windows XP pro with Cubase 5.
Due to running out of memory even with the above (huge samplebank libaries) I am facing up to the fact that as soon as my Audio Interface gets 64Bit Drivers I will have to go 64bit and get 8Gb of memory.
Which makes of memory are best for this board in this situation, and are there difficulties running PC8500 in this quantity or should I reduce to PC6400, I rather not but with a music pc stability is very important.
Geil Black Dragon, Ocz reaper, and Kingston Hyper-X are makes I have seen for resonable prices for 8 Gb of PC8500.

Advice would really help, running latest bios (17)

OCZ reaper wont fit because of Grapics Heatsink, pity as they seem to run cool, Dominators wont go in either.
I found some
G Skill PK series PC2-8500 Dual Channel
or Geil memory 4GB Black Dragon DDR2 PC8500 Dual Channel kit
or Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 HyperX Memory CL5 2.2V.

Anybody ?

Abit not existing anymore is really sad.

Pesonally I love GSkill, but whichever is cheapest and you like the look of. Never heard of any incompatibility issues with that board.

I'm another fan of the G.Skill PC8000/8500 on that board.

Thanks !
You can get Dual channel 4 gig PK Kits from MemoryC for £47 which seems very reasonable.
