Mushkin on a K8V?

[kwmarc]

Any used lvl2 mushkin pc3200 sticks on an Asus K8V motherboard? Debating whether to go mushkin or corsair xms, want to go with mushkin but wasnt sure of compatability issues.

K8V = Athlon FX = Registered DDR
No?

So, you need to get registered DDR, not regular lvl2 or XMS. I know Kingston makes HyperX ECC DDR, but I dunno about mushkin or corsair making ECC reg'd versions of their high performance memory.

No. K8V = Athlon 64 = Unregistered DDR.
SK8V = Athlon FX = Registered DDR

I use Mushkin L2 on the Albatron K9X800 (K8T800 Chipset).

If the K8V uses the VIA K8T800 chipset, you're probably good to go.
