Hello. I was hoping to cash in on the collective wisdom of the readers.
Putting together a new system. Basics are as follows:
ASRock Z97 Extreme6 mobo
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW
System is to be all purpose, little gaming (not heavy duty), workstation for home (CAD and Revit), family multimedia & browsing, etc. General workhorse.
Question is, what kind of memory to put in it? All the other components were easy for me to research and decide, but memory has TOO many choices.
- What speed? I have the recommendations from the board manufacturer for specific sets, but speeds vary from 1066 to 3200.
- I will probably get 8GB.
- If I were never to expand beyond 16GB, deos it make sense to fill all the DIMM slots (Read this allows more pages of memory open simultaneously)
Any help from the community would be most appreciated.
