beeing the one who started the discussion (with plans to put 12 gb ram in my new rig) i still havent decided what to buy.
the 12 GB Corsair Dominator GT (1866Mhz) still sounds great, but someone told me (i think it was Sygnus) that this speeds are not reached by the MoBO, and therefor not neccesary. and with a cache of 8-8-8 it`s not neccesary better/faster than 6GB RAM with a cache of 7-7-7.
i`m using programs like Qbase, FL studio etc. with a lot of heavy plugins that use al lot of CPU and RAM, and of course live music recording (multiple tracks at a time, and all the above at the same time).
this is why my original idea was to put in 12GB, to never reach the limit of my rig`s RAM... (for comparison, i`m now working with 4 GB om 800Mhz, and that`s just not enough)
now my 2 questions are:
do i need the 12GB?
is the 6GB at 7-7-7 faster, and therefor the better choice?
