Well now that I sorted out what was wrong with my PC (bad ram) I need to get some new sticks.

Previously I had 2x1Gb of G.Skill pc6400 800MHz.

My CPU FSB is 1333MHz so I'm unsure as whether to get 667 or 800MHz RAM.

I'm not planning on OC tho I'm a gamer and I want to get as much out of my PC with as little effort as possible.

My mobo is an ASUS P5N-E SLI if that makes a difference...

And recommends appreciated

From your previous thread :)

Get 3GB though (2x1GB and 2x512MB) - may as well if you can afford it

697048 2008-08-13 10:59:00 Ah but is it on the QVL? My last set of RAM wasn't and I dunno whether that caused the problem. GeneralKanos (13592)
697049 2008-08-13 11:00:00 QVL??

edit: Ah, Qualified vendor list ( I think)

I have Kingston Valueram in my Asus P5KC mobo and works 100% no probs.

Any RAM should work in any mobo AFAIK. You just had bad ram.
