Gigabyte P35 DS3R motherboard. Is it good or not?

Problem is they have a list of memory that are supported, and I think other vendors such as Asus don't require you to buy specfic RAM only.

I want to put in a pair of OCZ2P800R22GK

But it is only compatible with OCZ2G800R22GK

Thanks

anybody?

yes it is a good board, the chances of your ram not working are very slim.

 

[crazlunatic]

pavel how are you so sure? the ram list is there for a reason i think

Good board: Yes

Supported RAM: The list is there cos thats only what the board maker can be bothered testing. 99.9% sure ur ramz will work, as long as its the right type (ie: DDR2) and compatible speed/voltage.

Compatible products change over time too. For example, my P5B-D didnt support 1333 bus, quads or 45nm when i got it. A few bois revisions later, guess what, its supports all of them.

The board is good, motherboard manufactures can not test all the available memory brands there are too many, they test some to give you a general list. All ddr memory will run at a JEDEC standard speed. You might have to change some settings in BIOS to run some models at their rated speeds over the JEDEC standard.

Go to Intel. it specifies Very thoroughly the type of memory specificatios for that chipset.

I have Patriot 1066 installed in my P5K-e Asus board and it works contray to the the memory listing on Asus's site

yes i have seen many rams that are not included in the motherboard's manufacture site but they work

I've built several C2D PC's recently using various Gigabyte boards with generic DDR2-800 and they all work fine

the memory compatibility list is only what they've actually tested as working to cover their own arses

the ram works with that board answer, yes
