I have a set of 6GB Pi sticks. (F3-12800CL8TU-6GBPI)
I'm about to purchase a sandy bridge i5-2500 and slap it on a mini-ITX motherboard. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128484)
Could I use 2 of the 3 sticks to give myself 4GB of RAM in the system?
The MB HCL list suggests F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO as compatible...
I do not know the voltage range of the board....but if it recommends 1.35V RAM, what are the odds that my 1.6V - 1.65V RAM would work. (I'm suspecting that it might be a bad idea to have that high voltage of RAM running on the board.)
So, the journey got me thinking....could I use the memory on a different SandyBridge board? (i.e. any problems running 2 sticks of a triple channel set in a dual channel capacity)
Any recommendations on a mini-TIX or micro ATX board?
Will the next release of SandyBridge include a triple channel memory bus?
Anyone want to trade for an ECO kit?
