Hi there. I have a P4 524 Prescott 3.06 processor on an old Foxconn board. The board is really slowing me down and I want to upgrade and have the option of buying a faster processor later. I have decided on the Asus P5B-E or Deluxe. I saw a little blurb on Newegg that the P965 chipset only supports certain memory - "Notice: Only DDR2-800 memory supporting JEDEC approved 1.8V operation with timings of 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 is supported on Intel Desktop Boards based on Intel 965 Express Chipsets" I have G.Skill F2-6400CL4D ram, which is rated for 1.9- 2.0V and a CAS latency of 4. Does this mean that this RAM will not work or just not at this speed and voltage? I do not want to invest in new RAM also. Should I get a different board? Your opinions and experience would be highly appreciated.
