Have A7N8x Deluxe - Need Memory - Advice Appreciated
Hi all. I need some advice on what is the best memory to buy for the Asus A7N8X Deluxe MOBO. I know there are mixed reviews but I have it and i'm gonna go with it.
For those of you who have had success with it I was wondering what kind of memory you have and if it's 1 stick or 2. I read some articles where you can survive on 1 but 2 is recommended. I'm looking for either 256mb in the range of $40-60 or 512mb in the range of $60 - $80. Please advise and comment on the build if you so choose. Parts I have and Parts on Order: MB NFORCE2 A7N8X DELUXE ASUS RTL HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8MB WD800JB CDRW 52x24x52|LITE ON LTR52246 BLK VGA ASUS|V9280TD GF4 Ti4200 8X 128M CPU AMD|2500/333 ATHLON XP BARTON R MNTR NEC|17" CRT FE770-BK RTL CD MS|WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION SR1 LOGITECH Z-640 CASE ANTEC LANBOY (DON'T HAVE YET THINKING OF GETTING THIS) |

Check out the review on the PC-Mech homepage for Corsair TWINX Matched DDR. It is tested on an Asus A7N8X mainboard for dual channel.

Corsair and Crucial
The corsair twinx is expensive and I heard the Crucial didn't work well with this mobo. I also heard that Kingston didn't work.
Check out the bottom of this page: http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7N8X%20Deluxe |

Corsair memory
Ok I just ordered two sticks of CORSAIR MEMORY 512MB PC2700 VALUE SELECT. DDR RAM - OEM
It came out to $68 per stick. Thanks for all the advice. I will let you know how it goes. If it doesn't work you all can tell me I told you so. Thanks again. |

I have two sticks of Crucial 512mb PC2100 DDR running dual channel on my A7N8X. 1 stick in the first slot and one in the third. I love it. Everything has worked very well for me thus far.
As far as where to buy it, I would go to www.newegg.com as they seem to have it cheaper than anyone else that I have found lately. OEM RAM doesn't make a difference, except for the fancy box. Good luck! |

I'm running the same RAM and currently have my sights set on PC3200. Don't suppose you could afford THAT?

Go with 2 sticks. I got 1 GB of memory and I would not run any less on the motherboard that we both have. You will be some better performance. I run 1 stick in the 1st slot and the other in the 3rd.
