Thanks for the link! Maybe everyone can share their prefered SATA HDD based on their own personal experiences/observation.

As of now, what will be the recommended brand with the most size, rpm, reliability, energy efficiant, performance, sata version, etc. for a SATA HDD?

Perfect! good for begginners like me. This should be updated with the latest technology and preference to keep up with the changes.

That makes perfect sense. And gamble is one I don't have the luxury in building my first rig. 99.99 for DDR3 2133!!! Im drooling!!!! unfortunately, I am in Singapore right now :banghead: So I will settle for Vengeance™ — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8) to install in my...

Thanks for the suggestion. I believe that's the best way, to buy them by pairs. But for curiosity sake, buying them 1 stick at a time is also possible right? Even numbers of stick plugged in still works right, 1 and 3?

I am not going to OC. I just want to add 1 memory stick at a time. Thinking of buying 1 stick now, then another later, then 3rd one if necessary, then 4th one if still needed.

I am not going to OC.

Thanks! But what if I will choose the 1st setup plan. 2 with the same everything and same colour slot. Then I buy the next 2 pairs but higher speed as the first 2 pairs? Same as using the 2nd setup plan. 1st pair then the 3rd memory has a higher speed? This is assuming 1 slot is still...

A follow up question is, assuming I don't have the cash to buy all the memory I need right now for a dual channel ddr3 4 slot mobo. Is the following setup plan possible? Any thing I need to take note of when buying using one of the setup below? 1. Buy a kit of 2 now then buy another kit of 2...

Cool! Thanks! So let me check if I get it right, if I am using a 2600K processor and my mother board supports DDR3 2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory. And I don't have plan to OC. Would the highest speed I should choose be 1600?

I have a question regarding the spec DDR3 2200(O.C.)*/2133(O.C.)/1866(O.C.). When the above is part of the supported memory of the motherboard, does it mean I can go buy a DDR3 2200 or DDR3 2133 or DDR 1866 and just plugged it in without even overclocking?
