DDR3 help select please
My wife is planning on buying a computer with an i7 920 w/ 3 GIG DDR3. Some of the user revies of this computer have mentioned that it didn't have enough RAM. So I am looking at adding more. Suggestions. I haven't used DDR3 before.

Seriously? nobody? Do I need to know exactly what it already has installed before I make any decisions or what?

What exactly do you do that requires more than 3GiB of RAM? If you can't answer this, you probably don't need any more.
__________________That said there have been some really good deals for 6GiB kits recently, so if the difference in price is only a few dollars, it may be prudent to buy a larger set.

More ram is only better if you are going to use it. Otherwise, it's exactly the same, or slightly worse (more power consumption and heat, slightly less OCing).
__________________Anyway, a 6GiB set that is cheaper than the Dominators: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231230 Ewiz had a great deal the other day for a 6GiB kit of SUper Talent DDR3 1600, for less than 100 bucks. I think it's expired now though.

I'm shopping around for a 6GB kit right now too, and I was going to opt for the XMS3's instead of the Dominators due to prices
I'm probably going for these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145222 at $179.99 and free shipping Any objections before I make a bad choice?

I'm in no position to give anybody advice on RAM especially DDR3 as I have never had any before. From what little bit I do know about RAM though is you don't seem to be able to go wrong with Corsair.
