I'm still running the system in my sig for this week. On thurs when Win7 is available, I'll be loading in to a new build.
I have the i7 920 chip - just came in the mail today. I went down & got an Asus P6T board as well, just now. I want ram advice for a mild OC system, nothing wild.
It looks like I'll be using Win7 32-bit for now; the software I run has trouble with the 64 bit systems from what I can tell. This is not a gamer machine, but it has to be used 12 hours/day and needs to be extremely reliable.
If I get DDR3 1333, can this system be overclocked? Seems like I read in some places yes and in other places that you need to buy 1666 or something, to OC this combination.
I am not asking for advice on quantity - I understand that 32-bit OS will only see 3G+ of RAM and that the 64-bit version will allow a lot more.
But what would be helpful is if someone using the same board (P6T) has a particular BRAND of memory that did work well, or one that just did not work well for overclocking.
Thanks for any suggestions.
