Will this motherboard work with this memory?

[ssh2004]

Hi, I am going to buy Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe nForce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-050-AS) (full details are further down) from overclockers.co.uk. The memory i want to buy for it is Kingston HyperX 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3200 (KHX3200K2/1G) CAS2.0 Dual Channel Kit (MY-012-KS) again from overclockers.co.uk.

Now it says on the motherboard it supports DDR 400 dual channel memory. However if i go to the Kingston website and see the memory compatible with this motherboard its not there (http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=+17483+&distributor=0&submit1=Search)!

Hmm.. That seems curious, and all the ram listed is the slower cas 2.5 or worse. But some mobo's are picky about ram. Maybe it has been found that these two don't play well together?

You might wanna go to say, nForcersHQ and naivgate to the asus section and run a search to see if that is indeed the situation.

EDIT: Went over there so I could post a link for you. Noticed right at the top a post discussing the very issue. Check it out <A HREF="http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15553" target="_new">http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15553</A>

Thanks Coyote for the help. Damn, i was so close to buying it. What a waste that would have been.

I am now going to buy this from overclockers.co.uk. According to the Corsair website it will work fine with the above motherboard

Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 (MY-030-CS)
A matched pair of 512MB XMS3200C2 memory modules - 1GB total - ideal for dual DDR motherboards.
