What brand card is best with the Intel P965 chipset, or does it even favor one?

Click to expand...

It's not so much about brands as what chips work and what ones don't...

Personally I'm going to buy a Corsair XMS2 kit with my new setup.

But check the mainboard's manufacturers website to find out exactly what ram it supports, it will either be on a support page or inside the manual you can download. If not email them for a list.
 
Yeah but what Im saying is there are ati chipsets on motherboards that work "better" or only? with ati cards and some boards use nividia chipsets for nividia vid cards. I guess my chipset is neutral and does not favor either...

lol guess I answered my noob question.. its just that I plan on getting a ati 1950xtx card, if I cant get my card working better bydoing
a bios overclock,since I had problems with overclocking program compatability with some gaming.
