^ for the extra $9 this is worth it,
it would be better if you got ram that ran in triple channel though, since thats what that mobo supports.
haha, tell me about it! Back in October was a good time to buy, but I was waiting for the GPU to become available (on October 30th), when it didn't, and it still wasn't there on November 1st.. all of the combo deals went away also. I lost several hundred $$$ just in combo deals. (Which I almost made up for tonight with my above mentioned purchases ^_^)will the nightmare ever end?
aren't they the exact same sticks? just, as you say, packed in different quantities?I am 99% certain those ripjaws would run in triple channel
still RAM, just packaged in different quantities 3x2GB for 1366 and 2X2GB for 1156
is this because you have to "complete" the color slots in order to access the different channels?well, she says shes getting 2 sets of 2x2gig so if she was gonna run the ram in tri-channel, shed have to use 3 of the 4 sticks and i though it would be kind of a waste, thats why i mentioned just getting a tri-kit of 3 x however many gigs of ram.
