Hi.

I just got this MB https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P7P55D_PRO/ (not yet placed) from a friend, for a second pc i want to built and i already own 3 different ddr3 mem's.

1. 2x4gb g.skill 1066ghz (F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL)
2. 2x4gb corsair 1333ghz (cmx4gx3m1a1333c9)
3. 1x8gb corsair 1600ghz (cmx16gx3m2a1600c11)

The MB goes up to 16gb in 4 mem slots.

Will i be able to combine some of the above mems in order to reach 16gb and if yes will my pc have better performance with those 16gb, or is it better to go with a non combined 8gb?

If i cant combine any of these, will it be better to use 2x4gb 1333 or 1x8gb 1600?

Thank you.
 
Solution
Try the two 2x4GB sets and see if they will play first as long as you have them, start with the 1600 sticks and manually set to 1333 9-9-9-26, 1.56. If OK, shutdown and add the 2x4 1333 sticks
