Usually means they didn't test it with 4 sticks installed, but always could mean they didn't get it to work with 4 sticks which would be the scarier answer. Those are VERY expensive VERY entry level sticks... I'm a gskill guy but I assume buy your purchase you're a corsair guy. Here is a same speced Corsair kit for $50 less

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

(granted pricing might be different wherever you're looking)



Here is a same speced Gskill kit for $10 less and another $20 less if you use + $20 off w/ promo code PREBLKFR137, ends 11/24

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


Or a Drastically better gskill kit for $40 less than your original suggestion

I dont' think you'll have an issue with this. Asus and Gskill get a long pretty good and usually share info to try and work together.

If that $208 price tag didn't scare you for the slower memory



If you want to save some money.

I think it was $135 or so after the instant rebate (using that promo code above)
