Ballistix Tracer Memory on a Gigabyte board

[Meteor|WAR]

I'm helping a friend build a new PC and I had a question about memory compatibility.

I'd appreciate if anyone can confirm for me whether or not this memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148078) will give me any problems on a Gigabyte GA-P31-S3G (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128077)? I dont see it listed on this board's qualified vendors list but I understand the QVL's are usually limited in what memory a board can support. Thanks.

No one can offer any advice for this memory on this Gigabyte board?

Oh well. I might just get memory that is listed on the QVL to be sure then. He doesnt need high performance memory since he wont be gaming or overclocking much. I'm considering two sticks of this Patriot RAM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220089&Tpk=PSD251280081). Very cheap and should do the job.

i wouldnt think you would have any problems.

also look at G.skill kits. i have had great luck with them.

Since I'm really not asking much of the memory for this system, just for it to be compatible and do what it's advertised to do, I concluded I can just go for the best value. At $12.99 per 512MB stick the price on that Patriot RAM is right.

Thanks.

zanzabar, yeah I know memory on the QVL isnt required, but I just didnt want to run into any compatibility issues.

And thanks for the links. I think I'm just going with that PC2 6400 Patriot RAM I posted above.

pc6400c4 is a lower bun than 667c3 and that stuff that i linked will do whatever u want i can get it up to 1210c5 with 2GB in adn 1050c4 so it will do whatever and it has gmh only so it will act like your balistex (if u have the double sided)
