4870 Build

[elateral]

get this g.skill instead if you plan to buyt soon.

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

The PK series has always been better than the PQ and right now it's only 5 bucks more.

Also get a Xigmatek S1283. The P5Q Pro is a good choice

Will this type of ram work with my mobo?

uhh...why wouldn't it??

Yes, any DDR2 ram will work with your motherboard.

I feel so stupid now...

I always thought the number after the ram was the type, i.e. 800. Now I realize it's the speed...or at least I think, not really sure...

 

[Sora]

yea thats the speed it's factory clocked for. Any DDR2 ram will work in your mobo

Thanks for clarifying.

It looks like all the 4870s went out of stock...

Ahh good board, and before somebody says to get the X38 varient of it.. I want to mention that the X38 version of that board is like $5 cheaper so this board is fine!
