So is this memory better because it was desgned for the Sandy Bridge CPUs and for a p67 motherboard?G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBXM Thanks!!

Ok, there is some absolutely false information being posted in this thread now by cbboy and Billy. Please stop confusing Brendon if you aren't clear on the actual technology:1. The Sandy Bridge i7s are MUCH better CPUs than the older i7s and can reach much higher clock speeds, which is paramount for good performance in FSX with lots of addons.2. The CPUs I recommended (i5 2500K and i7 2600K) are not expensive "latest and greatest" CPUs - they are the replacements for the mainstream Bloomfield and Lynnfield i7s like the 920, 860 etc. Those CPUs are nearly 2 years old now.3. The integrated GPU on the Sandy Bridge CPUs is DEACTIVATED on a P67 motherboard. It is only active on the H67 boards. You use a normal video card with the P67 boards.4. Sandy Bridge systems use ONLY DDR3-1333 memory, you do not overclock using the base clock the way you did with Bloomfield and Lynnfield CPUs - the memory is locked to 1333. The memory you linked looks good Brendon, though I would consider getting the 8GB 2x4 set instead of the 4GB one - RAM is very cheap and 8GB future-proofs you.

ok thanks a bunch but one more question, which memory, the last one, or the kingston gaming one!!Again thank you very much for the help!!!! And I do plan on buying more memory a little bit later after I get other things bought and fixed after my computer!
