Hi,
I'm purchase an i5-2500k along with a Gigabyte motherboard model #GA-Z68A-D3U-B3...
I'm also trying to decide between the following memory...
F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
F3-12800CL8D-4GBXM
F3-12800CL7D-4GBXM
My first problem is that the website doesn't list my motherboard as being supported...
Would any of the above work?
Will I notice enough difference between CL7 and CL8 to justify the addition expense of around $8 for 4GB's?... should I go for CL9 to save an additional $6??
I'm also trying to decide between 4GB and 8GB... I probably don't need 8GB, but I plan to have this system for awhile and I'm thinking maybe I should just buy it and be done with it... an 8GB kit is about $30 more than the 4GB. If I just go with 4GB now, and buy an additional 4GB in the future (if needed), does it matter to system performance whether 8GB is made-up of 2 or 4 sticks???
Thanks
Tom
