i use the value select, and i am very pleased with it. spd programmed timings are 2.5-3-3-8, no manual timings needed to be set. this is with a a64 3500 (win), asus a8v. i will be receving today a giabyte k8ns. i am curious about the memory compatibility with this mortherboard for nothing is stated on gigabytes web site. i specifically purchased value select for it was listed compatible with the a8v.
I just bought some Corsair Value. Should get it Friday from the Egg. I hope that there isn't too much of a hit just because I'm too cheap to get the good stuff!
I have the corsair XMS ram and I am very please with it but I don't overclock and I wish I hadn't spent the money and had just gotten the value ram instead. It would run my system just the same and I would have saved close to 100 extra bucks.
