Triggerdust Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hello, I will be purchasing the Abit IC-7 Max3 mainboard and will be using it in a digital audio workstation. Because of this I am in need of the BEST most stable rock solid (ECC) and FASTEST Corsair memory available to me and the mainboard. I was looking at the TwinX1024-400pro (2 X CMX512-4000Pro). Is this a wise choice or would you recommend something else? thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 [url=http://www2.abit.com.tw/test_report/IC7-MAX3/02.php]This[/url] is the memory QVL for your board. On there is listed CMX512-3200LL which is a good sign. However, the success rate of Pentium 4 CPU's running with ECC memory is dismal at best. I'd suggest you forgoe the ECC memory with that board and stick with unbuffered (non-ECC) memory. Unless, of course, you're going to go with a server board and an Intel Xeon, etc kind of CPU (probably costing much more than you want). The TwinX1024-3200LLPRO would be a good choice (especially if you have a clear/windowed case to appreciate the activity LEDs) or TwinX1024-3200LL (the non-PRO memory has the standard heat spreader (or PT=platinum colored) and no LEDs, but same memory).

CandyKid Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Just wanted to add that (a) JEDEC compliant module(s) would probably yield the very best stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
