    Hey Everyone!
    I have purchased the majority of my new PC and with an ASUS P5B32-E Motherboard I'm not sure whether it can support the RAM that I want. I will be purchasing Corsair Dominator RAM, is there any of these that my motherboard does NOT support?


    1. DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

    2. DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

    3. DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1111 (PC2 8888)

    They are in order from my first to last choice. I like the DDR2 1066 PC2 8500 the best because of its speed for the cost.

    I don't think that I'll be purchasing the PC2 8888, just want to know if it'll work if I decide to upgrade.

    Thanks for your help everyone!
    Ian

    That was supposed to say P5N32-E motherboard, not P5B

    As you probably found, the Asus site is difficult to locate the QVL for the ram for this board.
    To start with,as I understand it it will run 1066 fsb, and from my limited experience with DDR2, I found that 8500 will run, on my budget boards, so I woul have purchased a smaller stick (256mb), then connected to crucial, and let them run their on line test to tell me, what my motherboard would accept.
