Nice spot on the cheaper RAM

It will be used for games,apps, photo's, encoding, emulation the full works.

I upgrade about once every 3-4 years so usually need a new mobi with each upgrade so just need one that is good for what I buy now.

I like the discreet xfire option on this board to save me some £'s when in use although I might have to look at a better board to allow future xfire option
