Ram

zbar · 06 Nov 2010

Hi everyone, does anyone have the Intel DX58SO Extreme Series mainboard.
I have read the specs and Intel only have Microm and Kingston listed that has been tested. The Kingston price ($39 for 1 stick of 133mhz x 2gigs) This seems to be cheap against other types of ram and not sure if it will be reliable. Can someone point me to the best ram for this board thanks.
