Nite Mare Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi, I am currently upgrading my computer and I am buying a new motherboard. The motherboard is the: Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe. And I am looking to put some SLI ready memory on it. I have found somewhere that sells the TWIN2X1024-5400C4 memory but I am not sure if it is compatiable. The motherboard supports max 8Gb DDR2 800/667/533 or PC2- 4300, PC2- 5400, PC2- 6400 non-ECC memory. However I see that the TWIN2X1024-5400C4 is 675 so I am not sure if it is compatiable. This is where I plan to buy it from: http://www.misco.co.uk/productinformation/~75657~/Corsair%20XMS5400%201GB%202x512MB%20DDR2%20CAS4.htm# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 29, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yes I would agree, but I would suggest you consider Twin2x2048-5400C4 so you are ready for the new O.S. thats comming and many of the games that are on the market now.

Nite Mare Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi, I am really stuck with which memory to get for my Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe motherboard! It says on the Asus website that it supports DDR2 553/667/800 however in the manual it only has 553/667 certified memory modules listed and I have also noticed this problem in other threads! And the Ram guy said that the chipset (nForce4 SLI x16 Intel edition) doesn't support DDR2 800! So what I have seen is the TWIN2X2048-5400C4 which is compatible. Or I am willing to risk some DDR2 TWIN2X2048-6400C4 (DDR2 800) memory as I have noticed that other people have used this memory and had it work! And the ram guy also recommends it for this motherboard. The main thing I plan to use my Pc for is Gaming and I am also going to install SLI graphics, so I want fast, reliable memory and I have heard that higher memory speeds with higher latency's are better than lower memory speeds with lower latency's! Which is why I am considering the 6400c4 memory even though the 5400c4 is SLI-ready. BUT..... I understand that you only really need SLI memory for EPP compatible motherboards, which only applies to the nForce 570 & 590 chipsets, and mine is neither of those and therefore doesn't support EPP memory! Ohhhhhh... It's so confusing!:confused: :confused: Can someone recommend some memory compatible with the specs I have noted!! Thanks in advance ;): Michael Basra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 fyi, epp memory is compatible with non-epp boards, you just won't get the added bonus of the epp settings, which is above and beyond the rated specs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
