Hi all, after some web shearch i discover that corsair has ddr2 of 1250Mhz
(pc2 10000). I have a Asus P5Q that in bios reports a max speed of 1333
(1:1). Nortbridg is P45. Will the corsair ddr2 work on my system?

And also is there any ddr2 1333 ?
Thanks in advance

The memory QVL has one entry in it for DDR2-1200, and the
test worked with just one stick. DDR2-1066 looks more
generally applicable, in that you can find products that
passed with all four slots occupied.

Corsair has their own information page. The P5Q uses 1066 CAS5 in their listed results.

Also, check the forums, to see if spending a boat load of cash
on memory for that board, is worth it. Here, a guy is having
trouble dialing in some 1066. Naturally, YMMV.

Kingston lists some DDR2-1200, but the voltage needed to get
there is rather high. This stuff is CAS5.

OCZ has some DDR2-1200 CAS6 at 2.2V. At least the voltage is
a little better than the Kingston. But the CAS is one tick worse.

This is about the best I could find. It is in their "phase-out" list, meaning
they're not making it any more.

DDR2-1300 6-6-6-18-2T Working voltage 2.35V-2.45V

That is a pretty high voltage. The product has a lifetime
warranty, but I wonder what you get if you make a warranty claim ?

The last review for that RAM is from 4/6/2008. "dead afer 1 month"
