Supposedly the compatible list.

Whoever has a system with this mobo, can you name the brand/model of RAM you have? This is the only thing holding me back so far (and July 22nd) from building.

And would you recommend a DDR2-800 or DDR2-1066?

why do we have compatibility lists for memory? why cant ram just work? is it gigabytes fault or is it intel making a cruddy chipset? I have never had to check to see if my ram is compatible or not. do the nvidia chipset boards have this problem?

Someone was suggesting I get gskill hz's... I can't find them on newegg. Does anyone have the link to the 2gb gskill hz's?

I didn't know those were the hz's.. what the heck does hz stand for? I don't see HZ anywhere in the specs or name title....

ya just know the colors and assoicate them urself

white/silver- hk

how much performance difference will i be able to see if I get HZ instead of HK?

The HZ,NQ, and HK come at the end of the model numbers. I just got this board because my Ds3 crapped out. I have the NQ model and from what I have heard it doesnt work with this motherboard. HOwever, I have heard that the HK and the HZ do work with it. So if someone could clarify this for me i would appreciate it.

the HZ is the same thing as HK except its black and a bit tighter timings with a lower voltage or someting like that
