HELP! Compatibility disaster!

[jaboh]

I built a system for my nephew and I can't find which RAM would be compatible with the CPU(Core2 DUO E6600) and the Mboard(P45TS). I've tried some different sticks but i'm not sure which one is not allowing the system to boot. It booted on an old 2g stick of DDR2 800. Id like to get the fastest DDR3 that the MB and CPU will both support. Thanks for any advice you can give...!

Why can't you find a set that is listed on the memory QVL? this is on the page you linked to. the CPU has nothing to do with it at this point because teh memory controller is on the board and not the CPU. it wasnt till the AMD phenom II's and te first gen core i seres came out the memory controler was put on the CPU.

look at teh QVL and pick a set and do a search for them.


EDIT: did a search for the patriot set of 1333 ram and found this: http://www.directron.com/pdc32g1333llk.html
corsair set in stock: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX-PC3-10600-1333Mhz-240-pin/dp/B000R8PUK0
