fenix_ds Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hello, I have been using for months an ASUS mobo M2N-E SLI with 2 matched pairs of TWIN2X2048-6400 G. However, my motherboard stopped working, so I had to replace it with an ASUS M2N-E. Will the TWIN2X2048-6400 G work with my new M2N-E mobo :confused:? Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Same mobo with Two lots of CORSAIR TwinX DOMINATOR XMS2-8500C5D 1066mhz 1gig x 2 (2 Gig) So that's 4gig altogether It is advised to drop the bandwidth when you are populating all four DRAM slots.

Yes, but be clear, there is no support for populating all four DRAM slots with this DRAM. Far better to go with Twin2X4096-6400 G which is a 2 X 2048MB kit.

Regarding the memory itself: will Twin2X2048-6400C5DHX G (recommended by the Corsair memory selector) work better than the TWIN2X2048-6400 G that I already have. Or there will be no noticeable difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do best with modules of the same integer version. For example 1.xxx with 1.xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
