Ram-Mobo match??

[Colt]

When buying a motherboard/ Ram how important is it to have Ram rated as compatible?

I was looking at buying a gigabyte ds3, which specifies corsair xms ram...

patriot ddr2 800 is on sale now at newegg

anyone have specific results with patriot ram on a DS3?

thanks

If you want to be sure, email Patriot tech support and ask specifically if the RAM you are looking at will work. You might even ask for suggestions from tech support.

I run the patriot in my ds3 800Mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8v no problems whatsoever.
