Is this a no brainer?

Is there anything I'm missing?

What do you think you are missing?

All depends on the voltages, so timings need to be checked with the voltage of the module.

Just tell us what you want to know .

The OCZ is the faster one right?

Can a P35 get the cas 3 without epp?

Ok. Nevermind.

I just want good ram.

I would take the Corsair ones, they have the same timings but only need 2.1volt vs 2.2volt, Remember that it´s not the timing that could give a problem with a motherboard; It´s the chip-count and the voltage it needs to run. DDR2 Normaly works on 1.8-1.85volt...

Ok then.....How about MOBO.

I have read good things about the Abit. And everybody seems to love Asus. I dont know much about Gigabytes though.

Opinions?

It´s hard to compare those two motherboards.

The ASUS has a complexer power regulator for the CPU then the ABIT does, that´s a big diference in price directly. The ASUS has also 2 USB and a firewire400 port as well, while the ABIT has an optical S/P-DIF in but no Coaxial S/P-DIF out. Both have solid capasitors, those will las way longer then the "normal" capasitors used on cheaper motherboards altrough I saw a MSI mobo for 75 bucks with it (for AM2).

And, how could I forget, WIFI onboard for the ASUS.
