motherboard and memory mach

[s0t0s]

hi, I am going to buy a new motherboard. The ASUS P5B for sure and 1 gigabyte memory dual channel DDR2 but I am not sure if any compatability problem occures. I thinking of OCZ DDR2 800 gold edition. Am I going to have any problem by this 2 parts? I looked on the P5B manual and in the qualified vendors list memorys doesn't show OCZ!
thanks 😀

i have p5b, very good board
do not go with ocz, intead go for corsair xms2 if you are going to oc then go for 800 if not than 667 will do the job at stock.

give a little more info, what cpu, psu?

forgot to ask, are you going to use your rig for gaming?

Yes, I am going to use this board for gaming and all the other staff. I read in a previous post that ASUS and OCZ are not good friends. Good thing is that I haven't baught this memory yet so I ll go to corsair maybe or if there is a beter compaible brand!

what do you thing of Kingston 240 pin, 2 x 512 mb ram 1,8 volt DDR2 800 CLS (5-5-5) non ECC, lifetime? This one is availiable in the e-shop I use to buy things

i am not familiar with Kingston, i would suggest going with corsair, a very good brand known for compatibility and good ocer too
