Thanks elektrosadist!! That was an awsome post with the picture love story. I am going to get the q9550 and basically follow in your foot steps.

What would be the best ram I could for this board that could be pushed to 1150-1200mhz w/ cas 5 or ~1000mhz w/ cas 4 or even cas 3.

update: so far I am thinking about getting the corsair dominator pc8500 2x2gb w/ a fan, what do you guys think?

depends on for what u want to use the PC. If you only play and bench then i would buy a 2x1GB Kit. Thats enough even with vista. And you can reach higher frequencies.

If you encode a lot or stuff and need ram then buy 2x2gb or more. But expect lower 0C or performance results for benches.

Generally you don't go wrong if you buy memory which are already binned to 1200 MHz. This is best nowadays cause nearly noone uses micron chips anymore. So unless you find some (there still out there, cellshock fe.) its better to buy ram with high stock speed. And the 2x2gb combos are all Powerchips or sumthin else and not micron chips.


I mean ram is so cheap, you get mushkin 1150 for 60€ or OCZ 1150 or even 1200 also for 60€. So you can't really do much wrong with these.
