8 GB DDR3 1333 Ram kingston/OCZ/Crosair/GeiL?

Herc130, moosejaw, Sam DeathWalker,

thanks alot for your efford to post some real info. will look at this in the morning so i can get a order done.. thanks alot for the time.

Greetings,

"You have one of the hybrid boards with core 2 and ddr3 (which should really rock), so look for the ddr3 by any of the big mfg Kingston/corsair/ocz etc. If you can afford the higher speed ram then getting a reasonably priced 1600mhz set is great because it leaves you some headroom if you OC and the ratios end up a bit funky. They do sell them in diferent packaging for the triple channel (i7) and dual channel (what you need). Make sure you don't buy more than you need. ;) "

well i know what you mean... but that is the MSI x48C.. that has both DDR3 slots as DDR2. i have the MSI x48.. wich only has DDR3. :) but that doesnt matter realy.. i get ur point. thanks alot.

But 1 question. my prosessor is a C2D @3.0 ghz. also it says 1333 mhz. im not realy sure what that means but i geuss thats the bus speed. does it matter if my CPU is 1333 and my ram is 1600?? or does that have nothing to do with each other?

I would go with an nvidia card, I've never had much luck with ati cards and pretty much every ati card I've had was a disapointment.

I also only use nvidia. Just updated 5 computers with new drivers last night and it went flawlessly.

The hybrid to which I refered is your board having ddr3 only with a core2 (not ddr3 + ddr2). DDR3 is more at home teamed with an i7. I was looking at a very similar MB before I bought an i7 arrangement. They sell the ram in packages of 2 or packages of 3 depending on your platform. IIRC the core 2 mb's still use pairs of 2 even with ddr3 ram. Just make sure of your MB arrangement before you buy.



The 1333mhz is the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed. FSB/4 X the core multiplier= internal cpu speed. On a core2 MB the FSB and memory speed are related. The memory should be run at an even fraction of the FSB speed . I think some one mentioned this earlier.

The MB's are made to run in a FSB range i.e. 800-2200 mhz. The MB adjusts according the data in the cpu you use. In the above case 1300mhz FSB and a 9x multiplier. These values are user adjustable in the system bios should a user want to overclock the system. Run at system default if you don't want to mess with overclocking.
