This says its "Dual Channel". Wouldn't quad channel be better?

Oh, i though that quad channel was a feature that each ram sticks have, making them better than dual channel ram sticks.

So does anyone recommend any low profile, 32GB (4x8), DDR3, 1600GHz RAM?

The Kingston Blu I posted will be fine. Kingston memory is pritty solid - would say if your not overclocking (or running regular memory speeds) then Kingston memory is some of the best value you can get. This is working without issue in my system at stock speeds and voltage.

Just check clearance on your cooler, but the Arctic Cooling Freezer i30 i'm using is pritty deep and it clears this memory.

Also remember when fitting memory you should really use an anti-static strap, and never touch the gold connections with your hands, only hold the memory by the heat spreaders.

If it's not too late, the Samsung greens are the lowest-profile kits around I think, cheaper than the teamgroup and faster than all the above - they overclock to 2400mhz or so. They're at £50 for 8gb at the mo.
