i appologise as this is in the memory section but more people are viewing here.

sorry to sound noobish, i am going to be buying a sandy bridge i7 and was wondering for OC'ing is it better to have two or four sticks. high ram would be nice as i will be running progams like dreamwaever cs5, photoshop cs5 at the same time.

many thanks

yes,

but this stuff is cheaper - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-060-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

the standard speed of Sandybridge memory is 1333mhz, so this stuff is rated upto 1600mhz, mean there is overclocking headroom to spare.

its designed specifically for Sandybridge.

and the timing is faster than the more expensive GEIL.

I suspect you would need to go with the Geil as the heatsink on the Corsair may inter fear with the CPU one.
