Hi guys,

I'm buying three system units in another two days. And I have some questions needed to be answered fast... Hope you guys can help. The questions are at the end.

The systems:

1)

Phenom II 955
MSI GD 70
WD Caviar Black
Sapphire 4770
Corsair TX 850
Cooler Master HAF 922

2)

Phenom II 955
MSI GD 70
WD Caviar Black
Sapphire 4770
Corsair TX 650
Cooler Master CM 690

3)


Phenom II 720
MSI GD 65
WD Caviar Black
Sapphire 4770
Some Power Supply
Entry Level Cooler Master Casing

The problem I have is with the RAM.

I'm buying 4GB of RAM for each system. I'm planning for:

OCZ 6GB KIT TRIBLE PLATINUM 1600MHZ CL7-7-7-24 @ 1.65V

The problem is that the ram says that it is optimized for Intel Core i7 platform.

Will there be any problem if I buy two of those kits and put 4GB of RAM in each Rig?

That will work fine if it's cheaper than buying three dual channel kits. The RAM just says it's optimized for the i7 chips because it runs at 1.65v which is the max you can use with i7 without damaging the chip.
