ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe and Cosair Memory

[Mixer]

Hello All,

 

I'm new to this forum and need some advice on hardware.

 

I have an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe mobo w/ Intel P4 Prescott@3.4ghz, 800FSB.

 

I'm looking for the best memory match up for my mobo and considering using between 2gb to 4gb of memory in Windows XP PRO Corp. Edition.

 

Also I'm considering OC the P4 to either 3.6ghz or 3.8ghz with the best air cooling on the market. Can this be done safely with air cooling?

 

I read the P4C800-E Deluxe mobo/memory forum and now I'm somewhat concerned.:confused: :sigh!:

 

My rig will be use for gaming and workstation functions.

 

PS: Any tips on how to make Windows XP PRO see 4gb of memory?

 

Thanks,

What SPECIFIC apps do you need 4 GB for?

[Mixer]

None specific.

 

I just wanted more than enough RAM for extreme games and maybe some CAD software. I may install Visa Ultimate also.

 

Any tips on the hardware questions about RAM type for my mb and ocing the intel prescott p4 3.4ghz to 3.8ghz with just air cooling?:question:

 

 

Thanks

Games definitely won't use over 2 GB, CAD will.

 

Moved thread to appropriate area.

Could anyone assist me on what memory sticks would be best for my mobo?

 

I'm looking to use either 2GB or 4GB on my system.

 

Which Corsair memory would be most compatiable w/o any problems?

 

 

 

Thanks,

I would suggest no more than 2.0 Gig of memory with this MB and you can use VS2GBKit400C3 for best Value or Twinx2048-3200C2 or for best performance Twinx2048-3500LL!
