DFI SLI-DR Expert Edition Best RAM?

[kimandsally]

Well I've been hanging my nose over the Asus A8N32 and the DFI SLI-DR Expert Edition.
But from what I've read the Expert doesn't get on well with TCCD RAM.
I have OCZ Rev2 TCCD at the moment would this not work well with the Expert?
I have a 4400 X2 my choices for speeds are around 240-280 dependent on which multi I use, I would like to go for 2X 1GB stcks of RAM in the future so any idea's what I could do?:)

my plat rev2 sticks are kind of screwy, they won't post except cl 1.5 or 2 but with 2,3,3,7 i can run 250 with them and i know tony had great results in his tests.

i just bought this 2x1gb pc 4000 gold but so far i like it although they top out around 260.

well larger sticks clock worse. running several the same thing... I think you have bigger chances with 2x512 then 2x1 gig if you aim for high mem overclock. 256 sticks is best though but to little by today standards.. But todays game I don´t see any need for more then 1 gig in any game I play. Not even in BF 2 which is supposed to be RAM hungry.

What settings do you run BF2 at? :stick:

Highest though need to cut down a bit on aa and aniso. My 6800 ULTRA is not keeping up ;)

Its not your card, its your lack of ram. I can run 4x8 with my 6800GT, smooth as butter.

Believe me I have played a LOT of BF2 with 1GB and now 2GB, you might think your getting smooth gameplay but your not.

You know at the start of the game when you get a little lag stutter as the kit menu and map scrolls in, well that aint connection lag.

I haven't overclocked mine much at all due to fighting SLI setup issues - but I'm happy with the Samsung UCCC IC's in my Mushkin. Newegg has the Mushking and the G.Skill equivalent for under $200. Smoking deal if you ask me. :woot:
