Hey guys I am new and I know just like all other forums I am on it gets old hearing the same old thing, I apologize ahead of time but I have looked around alot and I just want some input. I have an Intel Xeon X3350 and I plan on overclocking it to 3.4ghz. I am buying the XFX MB-N780-ISH9 motherboard 780i chipset and I was wondering what ram does everyone recommend? I plan on buying 4gb, I read some people say its better to buy 4 1gb sticks others say its better to buy the 2gb sticks for long term expandability. I have run across a couple of people with different timings as well, is there any particular timing anyone can give me or is this going to be a hit or miss thing I am going to have to play with? I appreciate everyones help.
