Can we ignore this thread as you seem to have settled on 16GB in the other one?

But to answer your question filling all 4 RAM slots can make overclocking a little more tricky than when only filling 2 due to the extra strain on the memory controller.

yeah after i wrote the first one, i tryed finding some info and i read somewere that 16gb wont make much more difference than 8gb atm, with just playing cod mw3 and some music in background + msn or chat application an so on, so i think i will be going for the 8gb and keep it minimum.

thanks for the answer anyway =)

so much to know once you dive into the deep end with this stuff
