Generally you are better off with 32GB of 1600Mhz RAM than with 8GB of 2400Mhz RAM -in case your mobo will only take two banks of the fast RAM and then only in 4GB modules.
When you are overclocking the system, RAM can be overclocked as well. 16 or 32 GB of the RAM Terry mentioned can be very useful then.
Personally I am very fond of G.Skill's 1866Mhz Ripjaws CL8-9-9-24 memory for overclocking.
Thats a good reminder dirk thanks i do remember my first am2 board only supporting premium speed ram in one of the 2 banks meaning 2 of the four slots and had forgotten about that thanks looks like ill be downloading some data sheets im glad you said something last time it was an unpleasant surprise
