August 12, 200916 yr Hello Everyone,I have a big dilemma choosing right memory for my system. In couple of days I will be replacing my good old E8400 with a Q9650 processor. Currently my system consists of:- GTX260 OC GPU- ADATA DRR2 800 4GB Memory at 5-5-5-18- ASUS P5QC motherboardSo I'm sure that the memory slow downs FSX performance and I would like to get a better set. The motherboard can support both DDR2 (up to 1066MHz) and DDR3 (up to 1333MHz). I'm thinking buying this set: OCZ 2X2GB Kit OCZ ReaperX Heatpipe Heatspreader PC3 10666 1333MHz 6-5-5-20 but first I would like to hear suggestions from others. Keep in mind that I will be overclocking the processor to 3.8 - 4 GHz range.Your help is very appreciated.Peter
August 13, 200916 yr You can likely use faster memory than what the board claims to support, you'd just need to overclock to take full advantage of the memory. DDR3 1600 is what you should aim for, here's a nice kit from OCZ @ Newegg.
