Asus P5E and compatible ram?

[firehawk_1]

I am wondering if the ASUS P5E is compatible with the XMS6400 RAM? The RAM product code/man code is: TWIN2X2048-6400. It's DDR2 800MHz 2GB RAM (2x1GB)

If you mean that the ram would fit into the socket or not, any DDR2 should fit into that board.

If you meant that would the ram work properly or not with the board, check with the ASUS website. Normally any DDR2 ram would work.

the asus site doesnt say anything, which is stupid. I'm talking about compatibility with the system...

Read some forums. Search around. If there isn't any issues with that ram on that board, I don't see why there should be any problems.

Oh and technically it's compatible if it fits, no?

i meant with the system, like some boards are fussy with the types of ram...sure, they may fit the same but when switching it on, it may beep or whatever, even if the RAM is NOT faulty, its a manufacturer compatability thing.

Yeah, there were two possible answer to your post, so to be sure I gave both answer.

I'm 95% confident it'll work. Just read some forums or guides just to be sure.
