Hi, I'm planning to buy 4th gen i7 4770K processor and Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H. Does that processor supports 32GB memory (4x8GB)? My board supports full 32GB memory, 8 GB on each slots. But when I see the processor specs, it says 2 memory channel support. Please help me with that. Thank u...

ok then, did you read this? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/32-gb-ddr3-ram,3790.html

well if you dont want to spend more than 300$ this 1866 cl9 kit will do just fine.!

Just means your mobo supports 'dual channel' most likely you'll want to put your ram slots in 1+3, or 2+4, unless you have 32gb already. You'll be fine, just refer to your board's manual for which slots to put them in if you only have two sticks

Dual channel memory controller(4 slots) (2x 8GBRAM modules per channel) totaling 32GB. tipical Z77 mobo chipset feature. there are also 2slot dual channel capable mobos with (1x8GBRam module per channel) totaling 16GBhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-channel_memory_architecture
that mobo is very good but i would really recommend going with one of the new Z97

I'm so confused, here's what I want. Again :)

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H with 4 memory slots. And processor is i7 4770k. Now I want 32GB 1600 or 1866 corsair memory in my system. Which model will be good for my system

For such system with overclocking ability high speed ram is preferable. i would suggest 2133mhz cl9 or better. though make sure you are involved into serious non-gaming business, else you would be throwing away your money going with 32gb. For the average user-gamer 8gb is more than enough and 16gb would be an overkill!
