ASUS NCT-D motherboard Memory upgrade
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 4:33 pm
Hi, I've got a NCT-D motherboard based PC with 4GB ECC registered Kingston DDR2 RAM.
I would like to upgrade to 8GB memory and WIN XP 64bit to be able to use it
Now I think I don't actually need ECC memory, but I'm having hard time finding what memory would work best.
I think Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/4G would be fine?
Also I see that memory I would need for my PC KVR400D2S4R3/2G is CL3 and the HyperX is CL5, almost two times slower, wouldn't this be a concern? I understand if you would actually use the faster RAM at it's intended BUS speed you would not notice it but I will down clock it to 400Mhz.
Thanks.
