His recommend board, as well as the Asus one, both have 4 ram slots... I doubt he wants more than 16 GB hispeed ram in them..
Every % counts these days...
Still, the best reason we can think of to buy high-end memory is to show off a big overclock.
Since high-speed memory only provides a marginal performance benefit to a small number of all the applications on your PC, we can only recommend the step up to a subset of enthusiasts willing to pay that extra money. At the end of the day, you will need to be the judge of whether or not the added expense is worth the marginal performance increase.

Guess I'll get 2 x 8GB then from Kingston =]
And, finally, my PC configuration is done
Will buy it at Paraguay at January 6~10...
Thanks, Sauron_Daz and specially Hammer_Time for all the help!![]()
