    I've heard that certain mainboards are picky with the kinds of memory you put in them. I'm referring specifically to the DFI Lanpary NF4 Ultra-D. Besides checking with my memory to be sure it's 168 pin, is there anything else I need to look for? Several people who use this forum have one of these, so I'm sure you've run into the issue before, unless you rushed over to the store as soon as you got your mobo and bought OCZ's.

    I was thinking of putting Samsung PC3200 or Kingston's in it. Now I'm not so sure. :rolleyes:

    I run several PC's, My Favorite & Fastest is a DFI Ultra D
    By the way they use DDR memory 184pin! :p

    I'd suggest G.skill or OCZ, many of both brands are made with a variety of Samsung chips.
    Both have excellent support, both have support forums with reps on staff/on line


    I use G.Skill HZ's, 2x1gb duel kit, pc4000/DDR500, they are made with Samsung UCCC chips

    :eek: Avoid Kingston, Avoid Corsair, Some might work, butt they are not recommended.

    Do you plan on OCing, I'd suggest pc4000 or higher.
    If you go pc3200 avoid Value memory.
