I was waiting for the Asus P5E 64 WS Evolution
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131300

But since it does not appear to be out in numbers I am going to use the Intel BOXDX48BT2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813121338

This will be my first board with DDR3 memory so I want to ask what memory should I use? I plan to overclock a Xeon x3350 (system specs in sig) but I am not really looking to get 100% max speed out of it, I just want a reasonable overclock. I will most likely use 2x2gb modules to get started.

Thanks

I've had good luck with this Corsair DDR3 memory on my 790i Ultra board it's on the high side, but it's solid.

Yeah that is a little on the expensive side and I want 2 x 2gb modules which makes it worse. I am looking at these modules.

They are Cas 7 and DDR3 1600. Anyone use these?
