1247573 2011-12-07 07:19:00 Is that no to 1066 or no to 8GB?
Iv'e had a look on several memory advisors, but didn't get a firm answer.
Specs on the board are a bit misleading too.

1247574 2011-12-07 07:20:00 No to 8GB Chilling_Silence (9)
1247575 2011-12-07 07:22:00 It says the max is 8 GB DDR 800 /1066 / 1333 on the ASUS site. I'm using 8 GB 800 DDR2 here tho not 1066. But, not on the same mobo Speedy Gonzales (78)
1247576 2011-12-07 07:34:00 Oh good, so it will take 8Gb.
We are just not sure if it will run 1066.

1247577 2011-12-07 07:38:00 Ive got 1 set of G-Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ.
Might just grab another one the same.
Is it likely to run any better with 1066?

1247578 2011-12-07 07:46:00 Specs are here. It can also take 1600 ram (www.asus.com). Is the CPU 1066 FSB as well. As it says on that site

*The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR2 800MHz. Tuned by ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR2 1066MHz

1247579 2011-12-07 07:53:00 It running a E8500 Driftwood (5551)
1247580 2011-12-07 08:01:00 It'd probably be better / faster if the ram matched the CPU (the CPU is 1333 isnt it)? Speedy Gonzales (78)
