Father Xmas

I happen to pop over to it just then. Clark on the floor with three very scared looking friends aiming green kryptonite tipped arrows/bolts at him in the smoking ruins of the Watchtower shouting "Lois it's me, tell them it's me".

Let's see;

Supernatural
Vampire Diaries
Hellcats
America's Next Top Model (they must be reanimated skeletons)

They've been dealing with the dark side for a while now.

Because otherwise you can 6 slot the power you took at level 49.

I assume so. Only when you exceed using all 6GB would 8GB but dual channel could be faster, only because once you exceed your system memory, memory is then paged on and off the hard drive which is at least 100 times slower than actual memory.

When comparing two memory sticks with the same Cas number, the one with the higher DDR3- number is faster. When comparing two memory sticks with the same DDR3- number, the one with the lower Cas number is faster. When both are different, it gets a little fuzzy. Here is a comparison of different speed and timings on an i7 they did at Tom's Hardware, I linked to the first page of the normalized results. The results in each chart is ordered fastest to slowest. In their tests, DDR3-1600 Cas 8 was usually the victor.

Gigabyte is simply highlighting that fact they got a set of DDR3-2200 running on that board, it's just their marketing department calling attention to their top speed. The reviews I googled up for that motherboard showed them testing with DDR3-1600 memory.

Note that the i7-950, like all non Extreme versions of i7-9xx CPUs, "officially" only supports up to DDR3-1066 memory. Anything faster is unofficial and uses motherboard BIOS magic to achieve. Note you still have to go into the BIOS and tell it to use the DDR3-1600 profile (profiles are preset timings for various clock speeds stored on the memory stick itself, XMP profiles include voltage requirements) otherwise the memory will default to DDR3-1066 at 1.5 volts.

Yes, DDR3-1600 Cas 8 seems to be the sweet spot right now for fast memory. Most of Intel and AMD CPUs can handle this speed without problems. It wasn't too long ago when DDR3-1600 was over $100 a 2GB stick.

As for particular memory working or not working. The main things to consider are; it's DDR3; it's voltage requirement is 1.65 volts or less (so says Intel); and it's best to buy them in pretested groups of three. You can always look at the list of tested memory at Gigabyte but remember there is a lot of memory out there and motherboard manufacturers can't test all of them.

I personally would shy away from the Dominators simply because of their tall heatsink may get in the way of the CPU heatsink/fan. One problem with Mushkin is they don't support XMP profiles so you are forced to set all the timings and voltages yourself. G.Skill seems to get a lot of good reviews, and their price is reasonable.

He got turned into the new Staff of Law.

They were the first serious fantasy series I've ever read since I preferred SciFi. I only read the first two series, I have little interest in the third series that came out 20 years later and isn't done yet.
