12Gb pack vs 2 x 6Gb packs

Oh I don't NEED the 12 Gigs.. I do want it to be overkill. I'm building a rig that won't require much in the way of upgrading for the next 5 years.

Thank you though, I wasn't sure if there was something special with the 12Gb packs that allow the sticks to talk better than if you had 2 6Gb packs.

i don't think they are going to make 6gb sticks, usually they stick to powers of 2, though if you found one, link please

the only large pack for DDR3 i have found is 3x8GB (it was server memory)

not 6Gb sticks, 6Gb packs (usually 3x2Gb sticks)
