Is this 6GB ram the best?

[Eg Lawns]

So I was going to buy 4GB of ram, but 6GB just sounds better to me. I was wondering if this was a good type of it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231223 .

Unless you have a cpu which supports triple channel memory, you want 2 sticks of memory. Other than the i7's all consumer cpu's are dual channel. This means that the cpu can access 1 pair of ram sticks at a time, and switching the active pair takes time.
Anyway, more than 4GB of ram isn't going to boost your performance.

That is still triple channel memory, find some dual channel. The 955 doesn't support triple channel. Heres the Memory you were looking at, at first just in dual, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193 It would work for your system great!

but my motherboard only supports 1333 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631

I would stick with just 4GB for your build, since you are getting a dual channel setup. Triple channel is for the LGA 1366 (X58) motherboards.

ok then can i get the best 4GB ram that is 1333 and a link from you tecmo. But i was wondering with my mobo could i get 1600 ram and it work?

Can you double check manual. Really DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066? not 1600?

Either way here's a good 1600 ddr3 set, cas7

Wouldn't i have to overclock it or something?

You would have to adjust speed, voltage, & timings in your BIOS to match the RAM. It really isn't overclocking in the sense you are running the RAM at design specs. If you want DDR3 1333, I would go with any of these RAM sticks.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000147%201052315794&Description=Gskill%20DDR3%201333&bop=And&CompareItemList=147%7C20%2D231%2D276%5E20%2D231%2D276%2DTS%2C20%2D231%2D318%5E20%2D231%2D318%2DTS

 

[fastx21]

Overclocking in the sense that you just bump up the dram clock multiplier. Hardly an overclock in my book but I assume your mobo should be able to do 1600 if it can do 2000. Perhaps 2000 is a misprint and it should have read "1600(0.c.)/1333/1066"

Okay thanks again. Now I am trying to decide between the haf 932 and the haf922. I want to get the haf 922 because i am going to add 4 122mm fans on the side each giving out 105 CFM. what do you guys think i should do?

 

[antisyzygy]

Go 2x2 gb or go 4x2 gb / 2x4 gb. 6 gb only makes sense if you can find 3gb sticks (which would be like finding a 3 dollar bill methinks) or you are going triple channel.

 

[Eg Lawns]

do you not see that i posted a new question?

 

[antisyzygy]

If you are going to be a rude little bastard Im out.

I would go with the HAF 922 for a case. It is a very nice case and at a great price on Newegg.com

Yes, even I actually found that quite rude considering that other people here are helping you.

You could have rephrased that to something more polite : "Thanks for your reply, nut which case do you think is much better?" or something similar to that.
