Ok i have finally decided on a motherboard for my new computer and im going with a asus p5w-dh deluxe motherboard. my question is on memory to match with it. i was thinking about ocz memory but i not too sure about it. i have seen some people having some problems with the ram i was looking at. so i looked around and i found some kingston hyper-x memory for a nice price. its DDR-2 750 ram and i was wondering if it would be fine with the asus p5w-dh deluxe motherboard.
Here is a link
Kingston Memory

hello epc51,

first off very nice board i don't know if that ram will be compatible with the motherboard but one of the hardware techs will be online shortly and will answer that question

here is a link to the motherboard specs

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail at Newegg.com

the one thing i thought about was that if the mobo would recognize it, it may set it at a lower clock speed say like ddr2-667, so i would have to manually set the clocks speed up to the correct setting.

ok after looking around i think i made up my mind im not going to worry about the kingston ram, im going to spend a little more and get some Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 memory. its only like 20 dollars more and it will probably perform well.

Hi epc51 that memory will be fine!

What other specs is your build going to have? (Im just interested)

ok here are my full build specs

OCZ GameXstream 700 watt psu

some of the parts im already using in my current computer

Sweet! Are you going to overclock?

I don't think you need a 700W power supply for that but double check here What Power Supply Do I Need - eXtreme Power Supply Calculator .

What case have you gone for?

I'am planning a system along the same lines soon.
