Asus P5QL-E (P43 Northbridge)
Ram type listed: 240pin DDR2, 1600(OC.), 1333, 1066, 800mhz
The manual for the mobo only lists DDR2 under its Qualified Vendors List, but you know how that goes... It doesn't even list Corsair. They haven't updated that list on their site since 2007.
However, I read on one -ONE- site that you could use DDR3 in that mobo. Quote: "P43 [northbridge chipset] supports 1033 DDR3".
I'm trying to get more high performance ram for my mobo, but good DDR2 can be hard and expensive to find. Being able to snap up some DDR3 would be easier.
I currently have 2x2gb Corsair Dominator, and getting another 2x2 at the right latency is proving to be pricey, if not impossible.
I'd very much appreciate it if someone could confirm or deny whether I can use DDR3 in my mobo.
Of course, I'd prefer to replace the whole PC, but I'll be lucky if I can afford a single new game this holiday season.
