I currently have 6GB of Wintex Amp-X PC-10666 RAM in my system.
I want to buy 3GB of the stuff so I can have 9GB but I guess if I have to I could go with 6 more for 12GB. I render in After Effects and Maya and the extra RAM will actually benefit me (I also enjoy having horrendous amounts of applications open at once so, believe it or not, I generally push my 6GB to the limit).
But I can't find 3GB of Wintec Amp-X at all and the only 6GB I could find was $300 (some weird website I'd never heard of).
Can I get any brand of PC-10666 RAM and us it? I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to change the timings if that's necessary. I just don't want to screw up my overclock.
Here are my specs:
Mobo: EVGA x58 SLI Micro
CPU : Intel i7 930 @ 3.5Ghz
RAM : 6GB (3x2GB) Wintec Amp-X PC-10666
GPU : EVGA Geforce GTS 250 1GB
PSU : Corsair 850w
HDDs: 1.5TB, 500GB & 250GB HDDs (Seagate)
Case: CM Centurion 590
Also here are CPU-Z screencaps for the memory:
