That is epic! :rockon:

Haha, thanks! It was the coolest, most amazing place I have lived (out of a dozen or so places). Aspen is not the "uppity, rich, snobby" place that people seem to think it is; the people are some of the friendliest, nicest people I have ever met! (also got to know Seal and his wife, Heidi Klum, a few others... and Ted Nugent and his Assistant; his assistant is smoking hot!)


Regarding memory on IVB, I just read an article about the new Kingston DDR3-2800 kit; apparently, with the 2400, 2600, 2800 kits, the timings have to run super-loose and at "2T" which actually caused a drop in the benchmarks from 1866 to 2133, and then it picked back up but apart from raw GB/s bandwidth, it seems like there is a fine line as to where price and performance intersect...
And of course, the law of diminishing returns... Although it was pretty awesome to see a graph of the memory bandwidth of every common speed from DDR3-800 all the way up to DDR3-2800!
lemme find the link...

There it is!

Just my own personal experience. May not be justified in games, but for my Photoshop work, the higher frequency does seem to make a difference. And it's not like I was talking 2000MHz+ DDR3 anyway.... Also, it's not like its much more expensive anyway. Where I got it from, it was $20 cheaper than the CL8 1600MHz, for the CL9 1866MHz.

No need to be so rude, it's not like I didn't even own an 1155 system...... It's just my personal experience, and I thought it may help someone out. At least the higher clock RAM gives you a few more options with clocks/timings (usually).

Edit: I did try and provide some suitable options (at least from that store).

Some are guaranteed to run at stated maximum timings, only when manually set. Rather than being supported by XMP/SPD.

I haven't heard anything negative about Aspen, maybe it's because I'm Down Under. I guess people just assume if you're rich enough to live in Aspen, you must be a "uppity, rich, snobby" person?

I don't know your price range, but this is good setup. You will have to search for them in the UK dunno any websites.
