What memory do i need ?

[Wildman95gst]

Thanks, Does it matter more to the compatibility between modules that the memory manufacture or the chips used are differant ?

I would lean towards the chips/ICs used rather than manufacturer. Though if I have to mix models I try and look for the same basic specs, i.e. base timings, voltage, buffered or not, ECC or non, etc....If all match up, then you have a better chance of getting different sticks to play together by adjusting voltages connected to the DRAM i.e. DRAM voltage itself and NB or CPU/NB, or QPI/DRAM or QPI/VTT based on the platform being used

This could be bad for me because g.skill keeps changing their chips, mine have G.SKILL in them , the egg shows Micron chips and a private seller has something stamped on it that you cannot read

[Tradesman]

What are you looking at/for

[Wildman95gst]

F3-10600cl9d-8gbnt with GSKILL on the chip.

Well i could not help my self, even though i have 12gb, all four slots occupied and having no problems ran mem-test with no errors, the egg dropped the price of their F3-10600cl9d-8gbnt kits down to $50, so ordered another set. This will give me two sets of F3-10600cl9d-8gbnt, and have read lots of posts of people having , non booting and bsod problems when the try to install two sets of g.skill ram. I do not have any way to adjust settings in my bios so i am at the mercy of g.skill getting the chips to work together.

Hopefully they will play well together and all will be fine, if not let us know

Received second set F3-10600cl9d-8gbnt, installed them, system booted up with no problems so far

Sounds like a winner................Okay now, what's next.........52" monitor?

[Wildman95gst]

Think i will stay low for a while, even though i sold my old G.Skill ram and other parts from my old computer to buy this new ram and everything runs much faster now then with 6gb. The wife was none to happy when she saw the package from Newegg.

[Tradesman]

Know that feeling and the looks that come with it all to well - good thing is I can say it's for a clients computer

[Wildman95gst]

Just wanted to let you know that all is working well, the wife has not admitted that the computer runs much smoother with the additional ram. Wanted to thank you again for all the help, of all the tech support board i have used, this one is best

[Tradesman]

We try hard, glad to hear all is well.....next you can get her using the system more and more and make a case for an even higher end system for you so you can each have your own.

[Wildman95gst]

Now that's an idea
