I couldn't resist and now I'm in this predicament of which mobo/ram combo to buy. So this leads me to my question, what RAM would you guys reccomend for this mobo? I'd like to get a 3x2gb kit as well. Rig will be W/C with an Appoge Xt set up and I'm looking to end up near 4.2 - 4.4 ghz range. Seems like Ive been raking my brain looking over gigabytes mem compatibility list and I just cant come up with the best option.

thanks for the help....

You won't get much speed gains with from this mobo moving from 1200Mhz to 1800 Mhz

As the board also has nice mem. freq dividers, I would recommend this for you:

3x2Gb OCZ Platinum PC 12800 (7-7-7)

Put them at 1.66v and you get pretty decent latencies.

It's exactly the memories I've been using for a year in my X58 Extreme, they have never been the bottleneg when overclocking, and I used phase change to hit 4.4 Ghz, just keep them between 1200-1800 Mhz.

Hope I helped!
