Choosing RAM
I'm trying to decide which RAM or order, to go with a motherboard that I just ordered:
Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 Socket AM3/ AMD 890GX New Board - eBay (item 190510537291 end time Jun-07-11 12:46:06 PDT)
I came across some Patriot RAM that is attractively priced:
Patriot Viper II PGV34G1600ELK 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Upgrade - 4GB (2 x 2048MB), 1600MHz at TigerDirect.com
But it looks a bit strange with it's notched top edge. I don't want to make the decision based only on looks, so I'm posting in order to get some insight into whether this is my best choice?
This will also be used with an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor, if that makes any difference in choosing...also the function where I expect that these decisions may matter most, is for video encoding.
