    Default How much memory?

    i want to upgrade my RAM as 4GB does not cut the mustard any more.

    I don't have a budget but was thinking 12GB Tri Channel DDR3 or even 24GB

    Would 24GB be over kill for gaming? bearing in mind i dont want to have to buy more ram for a few years!

    Anything more than 6gb and you are wasting your money m8.....you wont notice a difference at all....and if your into overclocking it's actually detrimental to the cause as it is harder to get a stable clock......this is for tri channel ddr3 for x58 1366 mobos of course.

    i think ill play it safe and go for 12GB. it might be abit overkill for gaming but i do alot of photo & video editing + CAD design which should use its potential.

    cheers m8
