    MSI-K8T-Neo owners - please help!

    Im going to buy an MSI-k8t-neor-is2r board but I need to find out what memory will run stable.
    I have looked at the MSI site and I dont get much response there. I looked at getting some Geil Dragon memory but I cant find much on compatibility either.

    What do you run on your MSI boards? Im looking to get 2x512 sticks and I wont be into much overclocking.

    The OCZ looks liek it will work but its a tad expensive me thinks. So is Kingston.

    ANy help would be great, I would like to buy this today

    Same here

    Beware all Serial ATA users using the VIA controller. It sucks and is prone to drive corruption (as I found out to my cost last night.. lost three weeks worth of stuff).. stick to the promise controller

    Ive heard that the twinmos sticks cant do tight timings CAS2. Ive got 2x256 twinmos at 2.5. It is unstable at cas2 at 2.85v. Your best bet is to go with a single stick of corsair, muskin or kingston. It seems that these are the only sticks that you can run decent timings on the neo. Personally im going with 1x512 Kingston BH5 as soon as I can get some cash. Hope that helps. Remeber, on AMD boards its all about the timings.

    not in this case M2c4u as if i run cas 3 instead of cas 2.5-3-3-11 its basically the same for sandra, im guessing its due to the onboard memory die controller?
