DDR 400 Memory Question


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what is the best Corsair DDR 400 Dual Channel memory that will work in the Intel D865GBF. The processor on the motherboard is a 3.0ghz p4 w/ht. I want the best performance possible and I was looking for either 4 x 512MB Chips or 4 x 1GB Chips. Either way they need to be dual channel compatible but if anyone could read the specs of the board and tell me what they would put in I would appreciate it. Also I do know that dual channel memory is sold usually in pairs.

for the Intel 865GBF i suggust you get the Corsair modules that end in "C2". Installing the most recent BIOS also will give you better memory compatibilty too and fix a bunch of bugs in that Motherboard. Visit the Intel site for the file.

1GB DDR400 Modules do not exist at this time. At the most right now you can install 2GB (4x512).

Get a Corsair TwinX Kit they have 2 matched memory modules in the package.

Corsair 2x256 Kits:

TwinX512-3200C2 XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX512-3200C2PT XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

Corsair 2x512 Kits:

TwinX1024-3200C2 XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX1024-3200C2PT XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

thanks, I just hope that memory is the right one because the reason I asked if the memory doesnt meet the specs the mobo causes blue screens.

Update the 865GBF's BIOS for the best memory compatibilty.

BIOS P09:

Yes. If you can afford them. go with the Pro model which has those nice LED's on them and the Black Heat Spreader.

it was the first link you gave.
