HawkInOz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The GA-EP45C-UD3R is missing from your configurator. Please provide compatible 4GB DDR3 & DDR2 memory for use with the Intel E8600 CPU. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 24, 2009 Do you plan to run the CPU at stock speed or do you intend to OC?

HawkInOz Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I will plan as if I'm OC'ing, even if I don't - and get the better memory. Since the processor runs at 1333MHz, shouldn't the memory as well? Or are the two unrelated? Any reason why no DDR3 memory was recommended? This board supports both, but perhaps there's reason to stick with DDR2. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 24, 2009 In our experience so far, it seems that the dual memory type boards do not OC memory very well as compared to a board with the same chipset but that is dedicated to only DDR2 or only DDR3. So, you'll likely have the best results with DDR2. I am certainly not saying DDR3 won't work of course. And, you'd have a better chance of being a bit "future proof" if you go with DDR3. If you wanted DDR3 for this board, I would suggest this kit: http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TW3X4G1333C9DHX.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would be very careful purchasing hybrid DDR2/DDR3 boards. The memory controller is far more complex and thus more problematic when using the higher speed memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
