Hi,
I have an MSI x58 motherboard.
Here's the MB spec url: http://us.msi.com/product/mb/X58M.html
Incase this website removes the url, here are the relevant specs:
memory slots: 6
max memory: 24GB
memory channel: tripple
• Supports six unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333* (OC) DRAM, 24GB Max
- Supports 1GB/ 2GB/ 4GB DRAM size
- Supports x8 / x16 data lines per DIMM
- Supports up to 3 channel mode
What I have today:
6GB (3 memory sticks)
OCZ3G1600LV6GK
PC3 12800
8-8-8 @ 1.65v
That's printed on the memory stick label.
Option #1: Add 6 more Gig
Problem: I can't find the same memory stick to guarantee it will work. They're out of stock everywhere.
Question: Are there other brands that will work with my existing setup?
I don't mind paying a little for add 6gig more to have a total of 12.
Option #2: Install 24Gig (6x4gig sticks)
It'll be nice to have 24gig in my system for work and video editing.
I'll remove the 6gig I have today and put in 24gig of something else.
Question: What memory would you recommend?
Is there a big difference between CAS 8 and 9, 10, 11, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Will
