Title: What Memory For A GA-X58A-UD5
Post by: Jakeman97 on August 15, 2010, 01:29:38 am: Hi guys,
Going to pull the trigger on a GA-X58A-UD5 this week. I'm an AMD person for the past ten years and really know very little about Intel except I want one. I would like to know the exact memory that has been successfully used by the majority of users by brand and model number. By that I mean what runs great right out of the box?
Thanks,
Jakeman97

Simply Plug n Play. I am using the Dominators @ 1600Mhz. They come with XMP and you only have to enter that to get them to run at the speed - no worries. ;D ;D ;D

Another good thing is that on Ebuyer they have just dropped in price : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152641

I am U.SA. so I found these on NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145225 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145225)I believe this is the one you referred me to. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks for the reply and now I'll have two Gigabyte systems, one AMD, and the other Intel.

My bad I just looked again and realised that they are only the 1Gb modules whereas mine are the same but 2Gb modules. I thought they were exceedingly cheap. ::)

I'm going to get the memory at the same time I order the board before they change their mind. As always, thanks for your help and let me say you and absic115 are truly the best. You both are one of the reasons I switched from ASUS to Gigabyte.

Hi DM,
Thanks for the heads-up on that. I fixed my order and discovered they have an instant 30.00 U.S. dollars off + a mail in rebate $20.00 to boot. Total cost to me $189.00 U.S. Yup I ordered them.
Thanks,
