    I need some help choosing memory

    I'm looking for at least 8GB to match my UD7. I'd like to see some good numbers from my 975, so what kits should I be looking at?

    I super appreciate the advice.

    I would look for a triple channel kit to go in your ud7. Would 6gb be enough ram?

    I'd go with the redline's here!

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    Thanks for the tips, I was looking at the same kits earlier (though I'll need two packs to cover my memory needs).

    I'm looking for something that will hold up well when I push my cpu past 4Ghz

    Well from my experience, when ocing your CPU , you will loose a bit of memore speeds correct? I would go with a kit thats 2000mhz and up capable
