I have two boards I'm looking at and would like some opinions on which one to choose. The two boards are:
ASUS P5N-E SLI
MSI P6N SLI Platinum
I have seen good reviews on both but I have heard both are picky on the ram you use. The ram I'm looking at buying is CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail. Will that ram work in both boards? I read MSI board only wants ram thats 1.8v and that ram is 1.9v but not sure if that is true or if I just need to update the bios for the ram to work with MSI.
What are your opinions?
