What Ram Do I Need For HTPC With Intel G620

sare^baw's · 25 Sep 2013 at 11:22

hey guys im putting together a htpc, i bought a second hand mCubed HFX Classic Silent heatsink case, Intel pentium G620 cpu and an Asus P8H67-V motherboard, all used parts.

What ram should i go for the motherboard supports ddr3 1066/1333 mhz. Would 4gb be enough or should i go for more? Is there any ram that will run cooler?

The htpc will mostly be running media centre playing mkv's and bluray iso's etc, and doing a lot of downloading with newsleecher.
