Can the Msi big bang use this memory

[sleepking]

I know it says it can use this memory with OC but the kit is a dual channel kit i'm guessing that just mean two sticks of ram.

So if i wanted to buy 3 of them to get 6X4 GB of ram will my PC be fine. Is it safe to OC the Mother broad to run better ram?

First off you need to decide if it worth having 24G of ram. For the averge PC owner and/or gamer, 4 gig is enough, possibly even 8gig, the rest is overkill.

Also, your board uses DDR3 memory so you will want to use a triple channel kit, not a dual channel kit.

What is the difference between dual memory and kit and a tri memory kit?

I can only think that the memory is packaged together differently.

It's the same ram, just packaged in 3's instead of 2's. To get the most performance from your memory, you need to run tri-channel.

You would need two 3x4Gb kits or one 6x4Gb kit like this:
