AN8 + AMD 3000+ Venice Core

My AN8 ultra didn't like the Corsair 4400 I gave it! Replaced this with some Geil 4400 and no probs!

May end up selling the damn RAM now...... what's the best RAM to go for, for the price ??

I want 2g pref over 2 sticks.

Well I've always found Geil very compatable with almost everything, I believe there are a number of people with Gskill & ocz with AN8 boards

Well I can confirm that Patriot XBLK works brilliantly in my AN8 Ultra, I have a 2gig set of OCZ Gold PC4000 arriving tomorrow or Tues. I'll be selling one or the other so maybe we should talk later in the week

Er hold on a mo. Buff, doesn't the AN8 have well documented issues with Corsair ram???

I wouldn't say that they are well documented.
Some people have had problems with certain Corsair & the default timings with manual tweaking apparently helping.
windog had problems with his but there is at least 1 guy on the ABIT forum with the exact same RAM as he had who is happy with it after tweaking.

XL seems OK with C2 being more problematic (probably a lot more of it about) but there have been so many revs. of 3200C2 using different modules ...

Thanks all of you for helping. I'm gonna flog the RAM and try something different.

2Gb OCZ Platinum PC3200 works fine for me.

I tried some Geil ultra before the OCZ and that worked ok, but wouldn't clock very well.

is there a cheaper option as that ocz is very expensive??]
that will go wth an opty?
