I finally did it.

I broke down and ordered this bad boy! http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/ruinkai/coolgleamA.gif

[OUTLAWS BIOHAZARD]

Sweet! :jammin:
I hope it works out for you. :wootrock:

BTW: How much did it cost?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

$144 + free shipping.

[OUTLAWS BIOHAZARD]

AWESOME!!! :wootrock:

[FUS1ON]

Excellent choice! :thumbs:

[ME BIGGD01]

excellent choice. make sure you run two sticks of the same memory in slots 1 &3 or 2&3 to enable the enhanced performance. you will happy with the setup.

[ME BIGGD01]

if you need any tips on setup just ask, i be here

[|SCK|Sephiroth]

my Epox 8rda+ was only #110 :P

:hmmm: I only ordered 1 stick of Corsair 3500 512Megs. Why do I need 2 sticks? :WTF:

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I would suggest 2 sticks.
There will be a difference

[ME BIGGD01]

the nforce 2 had dual channel memory but will not be enabled unless you have 2 or more sticks of ram. this will enable the enhanced mode of the nforce chipset.

That's right Machine...join the rest of the Asus zombies that are here....uhhhhh....lol...like me.

If you don't use two sticks like BIGG said, you won't be able to utilize the dual channel.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

You mean the bank interleave (sp?) . :hmmm: Maybe I should order another 512meg stick.

[Dissectional]

Yeah, sorry....I wrote that as soon as I got outta bed. I would order another 512.
I should learn to wake up a little before I start to post....

[C2H5OH Guy]

nice :thumbs:

[Slash]

Sweet, I am about to order this one.

[Slash]

ewwwww, pardon the blury pic.

I get the same :) with 2 sticks of 512 MB RAM

[SALvation]

Damn you and your gold lined pockets!

[OUTLAWS DirtGod]

hey why dont yaeh brake down and get us all one ....::)

[Diablo]

when you buy a whole new mother board do you have to install EVERYTHING you had on your comp when you replace the old one?...do you keep windows XP?..And i need to know this casue i might be getting the exact same one slash is getting and can anyone of you help me cause im confused : |

Machine maybe this will help ya:

DualDDR Memory Architecture



With the increasing use of digital consumer electronic devices, PC digital media authoring applications and high bandwidth connections, the traditional PC architecture is easily strained by users' expectations for interactivity. PC users want to capture, edit, publish and share their media. They want to multi-task, and consume media while interacting with other applications. PCs are getting smaller, yet owners demand more performance, particularly from the graphics subsystem. Ultimately, there is no PC subsystem more visibly affected by an under performing memory design.
PC users want to simultaneously interact with multiple large media files, requiring more memory, more system bandwidth and lower access latencies so that each application can get what it needs without having to wait.

Now, NVIDIA is able to deliver the highest overall system performance for both integrated graphics systems and systems with graphics add-in cards. The NVIDIA® nForce™2 DualDDR memory architecture optimizes system performance by increasing bandwidth and reducing memory latency.

Features of DualDDR Memory Architecture include:

Highest memory bandwidth: DualDDR combines the power of DDR400 with two independent memory controllers, which yields a staggering 6.4GB per second of memory bandwidth—twice the memory bandwidth of other DDR400 chipsets. Increased memory bandwidth delivers better system and graphics performance, resulting in more overall productivity.
Lowest latency: Both memory controllers operate concurrently with each other to hide latencies associated with typical chipsets. For example, controller "A" reads or writes to main memory while controller "B" prepares for the next access, and vice versa. As important is the second-generation DASP (Dynamic Adaptive Speculative Pre-processor), which has been re-architected for improved performance.
Most stable and flexible memory system: End-users can now populate higher density DIMMs, up to 1GB each, to utilize the entire 3GB memory address map. This large memory map allows more applications, audio and video streams to coexist without conflict.
The nForce2 DualDDR Memory Architecture provides a no-compromise PC graphics memory solution, allowing everyone to take advantage of today's most intensive applications and get the most performance out of existing memory. Not only can you run multiple applications simultaneously, you can do so without fear that the system will come to a screeching halt. DualDDR raises the bandwidth bar, delivering a 100% increase over current competitive products, and provides the power and performance PCs need to run at their fullest capabilities.

does this work only with DDR400?

No.
I have pc2700
And works for me.

[ME BIGGD01]

will work with all 2100,2700,3200,3500

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

But can they be mixed?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Probably, but you would be limited to the speed of the slowest stick.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Interesting.
Gonna have to try it out tomorrow.

[ME BIGGD01]

well if you are running 2700=333 2.7gb both sticks would have to be atleast 333 not 2100 or system will most likely crash

[Sauron]

Good i ordered 2 512MB sticks of DDR 333

[Death-Dude]

That's a sweet board. I have an old, clunky, KT333 board, and I do have a bit of Nforce2 lust. But, I don't have an 8X card, and I have ATA133, so I'll have to hang with this. I'm sure you'll be happy.
