Hey Everyone,

I am putting together a new pc rig and looking on some clarification regarding OCZ DDR3 and AM3 AMD Processors.

I have purchased a AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz processor and ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO motherboard.

could someone confirm whether any of the DDR3 modules below are compatible??

OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR3 1333Mhz/PC3-10666 Gold Memory CL9(9-9-9-26) 1.6 V Unbuffered - Ebuyer

or

OCZ 3GB (3x1GB) DDR3 1333MHz Platinum XTC Memory Kit CL7 1.65V - Ebuyer

the memory voltage is what is confusing my judgement :doh:

any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

i would get the 2GB set. your Motherboard has “Dual Channel memory architecture”, which means it likes memory in sets of 2. also, ASUS has a list of supported ram on the page for you Motherboard

Thanks for the info valamar it was the voltages which where putting me off and the fact that OCZ have officially just announced “AMD” compatible memory sort of through me off a bit :):doh:
