    RAM Choice


    I can choose between
    Amazon.com: 16GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17000 RipjawsZ Series for Intel X79 (9-11-10-28) Quad Channel kit 4x4GB: Electronics

    and

    http://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaw...1990419&sr=1-7


    I'd choose the first option because its better and cheaper, but it says its designed for X79. I'd normally think that it wouldn't matter, but i wanted to confirm.

    well x79 supports quad channel memory, as your not intending to use quad channel, just 4 dimms in dual channel id opt for the cheaper ones.

    Even cheaper here,

    Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH

    Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11Q-16GBXL

    If you can get it from Newegg I would pay the extra $10 for the slightly lower latencies.
