Question : Problem: Best ddr3 For asus p5q3 deluxe mo board

Trying to figure out what company vendor to use whats the most well known (stable / fastest memory company out there. today for the ddr3 technology

i have a Asus p5q3 deluxe wifi n motherboard

Heres the info from Corsair
http://corsair.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=589533   (thats my board model)
then i looked at this type
TW3X4G1333C9DHX DDR3-1333 (XMS3-10666C9)

with this model on the buy now price from tiger is 69.99

but from the new egg same model its 99.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145198&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Memory+(Desktop+Memory)-_-Corsair+(XMS+Series)-_-20145198

But then i see alot of bad reviews about this memory


then i check the 2nd one on the list and to buy it from dell
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A1640631&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=SS&cid=30322&lid=680413

and that costs like 339$

so all for almost the same ram very different in prices...



SOOO heres crucial

http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=P5Q3%20Deluxe/WiFi-AP%20@n

thats my board selection and prices are different

probally a 2 piece kit

Part #: BL2KIT25664BA1336 " DDR3 PC3-10600 " 6-6-6-20 " Unbuffered " NON-ECC " DDR3-1333 " 1.8V " 256Meg x

but i see that the 6-6-6-20 is lower and thats 169 dollars vs 99 dollars at newegg or 69 dollars at tiger

but it seems its better to have those big heat sink looking things on the ram ....


HERES patroit

THis is what i have in my system as of now

http://www.patriotmem.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=5&catid=18&prodgroupid=107&id=669&type=1

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3612353&ref=dynamitedata.com

is the item from tiger


and lastly heres kingston

http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=47941&mfr=ASUS%2FASmobile&model=P5Q3+Deluxe%2FWiFi&root=us&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com&Sys=47941-ASUS%2FASmobile-P5Q3+Deluxe%2FWiFi-AP+@n+Motherboard&distributor=0&submit1=Search

thats my board model

the 2 selections is 4gb kits but they price at 87 dollars but i think without the Heatsink on the memory..







sooo im kind of considering what vendor to choose also i belive its better with the heat sinks  and i know if i get 8 gb ill have to return the Patriot memory to frys electonics (local store)  if i dont choose them for this ddr3 setup


i was hoping that they have out a DDR3 4gb module but im not sure if they have it yet nor im not sure if this mo board supports 16 gb if they have it..

of course ill be running linux 64 bit / windows 64bit (vmware testing enviroment) personal but i use it to the extent

Thanks a bunch

Answer : Problem: Best ddr3 For asus p5q3 deluxe mo board

Kingston, Crucial, Patriot, G Skill, and A Data are all good.
The 1600 Pats you have are 7-7-7. You aren't going to gain anything by going down to a 1333 @ 6-6-6.
So unless you see a 1600 ram kit with a 6-6-6 rating, stay with the Patriots.
