Build list: Look at the update post I'm plannig to overclock the CPU [i7-920] to 3.6GHz+ (can go to 4GHz, but don't be too optimist). I want RAM stable at a lower timing/higher speed. Someone recommanded the #1 (so I put it first), the #2 has the best timing and its initial price is $191. I put the last one b/c it fits the price range.
The Crucial modules for Triple Channel and Dual Channel are basically the same. For $150, I'd go with 8GB by having Two Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BA1339
I use it on my i7 920 rig with my timings at 7-7-7-19. It's fast enough.
