Asrock x58 extreme 12 gig memory choice

[Keffer]

I am looking at the as-rock x58 motherboard with the i7 920 and would like to go to 12 gig for Autodesk Inventor. I don't see 12 gig listed on their website. How do I know which memory to use?

I wouldn't use an ASRock on a production machine.

Any suggestions in this price range?

Actually, If you do go asrock, make sure you cool the northbridge/southbridge the heatsink isn't as good as p6t/gigabyte x58. If cooled properly it should be good for 24/7 and for ram, get crucial 1333mhz 3x2gb and put them at rated speeds then undervolt and several runs of memtest to ensure it won't crash you while your doing important work.For 12gb, get another kit of the crucial 1333mhz ram
