I'm not too familiar with adding memory to an existing system, but currently I'm running 12GB of RAM from G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9T-12GBRL and wanted to max out the memory my system can hold by adding another 4GB. My question is, what are some of the best options out there that's compatible with my existing memory and system?

My system has a core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz not yet overclocked, MSI N460GTX Twin Frozr II Video Card and Gigabyte P67 UD3P Intel 1155 mobo

He already has the 12GB in his system. By adding the 4GB I linked to he would have 4 x 4GB.

That's the cheapest way to go to assure compatibility.

Don't forget to use promo code DM15A0111US at checkout for 15% off the memory until 01/27/2011

Thanks Must, I think I'll go with that. I saw it, but wasn't sure if was compatible with my system since the specs were different from my other memory

What about this RAM?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145315

It has a rebate and the 15% off coupon, meaning you can get 16 GB for about $115. I have no need for it immediately but I intend to build a rig later this year and I feel that RAM prices are at historic lows and will only go up from here. Do you guys concur? I'm seriously considering buying 16 GB now. I suppose I shouldn't need to worry about compatibility with boards as long as I build this year, right?
