Which RAM?

Jhaemes · 2 Jan 2012 at 16:31

Planning on a Z68 and i3 2100 build, with a later upgrade to the i5 2500k.

Which voltage of RAM would be best? I only need around 4 GB to start with, preferably one stick of 4, rather than 2 x 2 GB.

4gb of G-skill ripjaws X can be had for £24 off another well known site. 8gb can also be had for £33. G-skill all day everyday.

Corsair Vengence 4GB/8GB depending on what you want. Great memory!

My only had experience in the last 2 years has been crucial, pick from any of the others I would say - kingston, corsair, patriot or gskill.

1.5v is the recommended voltage for sandybridge setups.

1 stick will only give you single channel operation.

For the best performance you want pairs of sticks for dual channel operation, so 2 or 4.
