Hi there.
I'm looking at getting 1066MHz RAM to work on my Asus Striker II Formula.
I tried getting Corsair XMS2 RAM to work on it, the 2 x 2GB modules, but even after telling the motherboard what the voltage and basic timings were (5-6-6-18 according to www.scan.co.uk and 4-4-4-12 or 5-5-5-15 according to Corsair) the motherboard wouldn't accept it as 1066MHz at least 50% of the time - it would see it as 800MHz.
RAM choices will either be from Scan (www.scan.co.uk) or Microdirect (www.microdirect.co.uk)
My question is this:
These are the choices of 1066MHz RAM I have available to buy:
Microdirect:
