Ok fellas,I have my new ram coming tomorrow and being the idiot that I am I just now decided to go to OCZ's website and take a look at their motherboard compatibility to see if my bhoard is compatible.This ram will run dual channel but my board is not.It doesn't list my board as compatible (gigabyte GA7-VT600PL) but it does list the the GA-7N400 pro2 board and a couple of athlon64 boards.At first after reading this I thought "Oh shit" but then I started to look around at the other manufacturers who were compatible and I see that the ECS KS75A is comp[atible but mine supposedly isn't ?

Should I worry about this or could it just be that they haven't actually tested it with my board yet?
Maybe I'm just paranoid.

i beleive the A7N8X and the A7N8Xdeluxe are both nforce 2 ultra's, but I could be wrong about the A7N8X. but i do know for sure that the deluxe is nforce 2 ultra and that the A7N8X-X is definately not...

I would but the price on this ram is very good.I also read some reviews on this particular ram and according to the reviews it can be overclocked to DDR400 speed with ease. I am basically paying 95 bucks for two sticks rather than 100 bucks each as the DDR400 is at the only shop local to me that carries it.
I am running it right now and it seems to work well,my CPU temps are a bit too high for me (47 degrees right now)
