Still trying to nail down the final specs of my new, tri-centennial computer. My QX9650 is finally in so I need to get a move on on the rest of the components.
The final peices of my setup that I need to figure out are the MB and ram combination. I'm set on running 4gb. I dont really need to worry about overclockability as any overclocking I do will be via simple cpu multipliers. That said I think I'm looking for a 4 x 1gb dimm loadout.
I'm still wiffle waffling between the Abit IP35PRO, the ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA and the ASUS P5E (which is basically a stripped down maximus formula) though i think im leaning towards the P5E. I think the deal breaker between the above choices is which is the stablest using 4 memory dimms.
Anyone know of any known issues with any of the above boards running in a 4x1 dimm config? Any anecdotal experiences with any of the above boards (using 4x1)? Im looking at 4 x Crucial Ballistix 1gb 6400 dimms (4-4-4-12 @ 2.2v) which seem to be pretty basic (not really pushing the envelope anywhere).
I need to get this box finished!
