Epox and Corsair don't mix well. I don't know about the later revisions, but for the earlier ones any change to the BIOS would cause an error and a blank screen. The only way to fix this was to change the RAM with some lower speed generic RAM and manually set the timings. Then boot, shutdown, and switch back to Corsairs. This becomes a major problem when you're overclocking because any little change will get you the error of death. However, there are beta BIOSes that fix the problem. So if ye want the Epox and Corsair, make sure the newer revisions fix that, or have some generic RAM in hand when you're settiing up your system.

It's a matter of preference really. All those brands are pretty tight memory manufacturers.<BR><BR>Perhaps you should do a little research on your motherboard. Maybe it'll tell you which type of memory it likes best.<BR><BR>My personal choice would be the Corsairs. I have a set of the Twin 256x2 PC3200 and they make me smile.

OCZ and Geil are nothing but overclocked Junk. Corsiar XMS and Kingston HyperX are both awsome memories. Mushkin used to be top of the line, but they don't seem to be competing with RAM frequencies as high as Kingston and Corsiar. I'd get one of those two...whichever is cheaper.

I would not recommend the EPOX RDA+, I bought that board about 6 months ago and I have had nothing but problems with it. You can go to, http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=32.<BR><BR>Read all about my problems and lots of others peoples problems with the EPOX RDA+ board. I have heard lots of good things about ABIT boards but I have never owned one.

If you have problems with it...RMA!
