from what i read noone knows the best ram for the 4930. Which, obviously, leaves me in a pickle. I read the 1333 is too slow, the 2133 is wasted money, the processor will slow down to 1333 if all 8 slots are used regardless of what ram is used. Why is this such a problem? And where are the ram companies in this bravo-sierra?

This is socket 2011, the 4930 is IB-E, not Haswell, if planning to OC I'd go 2133/9 in a 4x4GB (for 16GB) or 4x8GB (for 32GB) and look at the Ripjaws Z from GSkill, the Z line of Ripjaws was designed towards true quad-channel and the advanced timings will be a little better than say Snipers (second choice) or Ripjaws X.
