I have 12gb of 1600mhz ram. I need faster ram and was planning on getting some pretty soon. I thought while I was in the market for ram I would get some that I could use now and also be able to use if I decide to upgrade to x79.
While looking at 16gb sets, 4 sticks of 4gb for now I would just leave 1 stick in box, I saw some of the ram speeds as high as 2400mhz. Is that much speed necessary? My x58 board will not need that much speed but does anyone know if x79 will need ram that runs that fast or will 2133mhz be fast enough? This might be alot of speculation since x79 has not released yet and no one knows how well it will perform.
