Building new Computer

[Rodger]

Hi. I am building a new computer and have heard about compatability issues between Asus mobo's and some memory. I was just wondering if the Asus A8V Deluxe is compatible with Crucial CT6464Z40B. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you go to www.crucial.com/uk and use the excellent memory selector to choose your mobo you can see what ram is tested and garunteed compatible.

I never woried about compatability, however I probaly should... But I dont think intel setups are as fussy....

I've never personally had a problem with memory not being compatible, hell I normally use Nanya stuff anyway

In my previous lfe running marketing for a major system builder, we constantly sent out systems for review + sold thousands a month to end users

On the production line, memory problems were very rare because the various BIOSes, driver etc were all pretty mature and flexibility was 'built in'

However, when creating review systems using components that had never been seen before, our R&D team had a special cupboard full of paired memory modules

Not paired by the company shipping them - but paired on the results of in-house testing

We made sure that the first production runs on a new system stuck with the memory that had been used in reviews...

...until the 'flexibility' arrived a few weeks/months later !
