AMD64 - Asus Deluxe & mist RAM

[Anthony]

I'm just building new machine based on new AMD64.

MBO is Asus K8V SE Deluxe and as you all know since memory prices jumped suddenly higher many dealers went panic so either sold all "older" chips or simply updated with new prices.

Well, mine is a good guy so I secured 3x 512 DDR400 for unbelievable value. (too good to refuse)

Problem is (maybe it isn’t problem at all) Asus recommend chips from Infineon,Kingmax,V-Data (A-DATA) My chips are V-Data (A-Data) 3x512 DDR400.

Thing is just that those on the list are only 256MB chips, so I wonder since it is from the same brand (Samsung) is it safe to assume that 512 will work just the same?

I ask this because I have no time to test the same,will leave for next weeks to finish this machine.

Just want to know, did any of you guys maybe already tested his Asus 64Mbo with this Memory.

This is from what I understand relatively new memory brand so I wonder even if in different configuration, does anyone have good/bad experience with this V-Data (A-Data) chips.

All ears.<>

gorillas in the mist ram...

as my title implies..generic memory (perhaps most memory?) is many times a "grab bag" if you will. The memory companies buy whatever chips are the cheapest at the time. I might buy the box of memory right behind yours on the shelf and its possible it's made with different stuff. They both just have the same label on them.
Sometimes you get an awesome deal just because of the name..you might have the exact same hardware as reputable brand name memory..you just never know.You may just want to look around for utilities that stress cpu/memory on the internet and see how yours measures up.

just a suggestion...

Actually, this is brand memory as well.

But, yes I understand and agree with your point.

Sad thing is after 5 emails to Asus, they are using ridiculous automated responses and even when someone replies their
over-generalized reply is insulting your intelligence, you can clearly see that they didn’t even bother to actually read your message, they simply copy-paste routine of some faq nonsense back to you.

Well if not working, I will simply swap them back to my dealer for Infineons of Kingmax.

Although this brand is on recommended Asus tested chips, just in 256 version, I hope this is same for my 512MB.

I'm willing to bet it will work. I don't have the luxury of choosing memory in this country. Most of the time my memory isn't on the compatible list at all. I haven't ever had a problem. In fact some Hynix memory that I have (PC2100) goes up to 215 MHz on my board with very loose timings.
