And yes, even CAS9 is fast at 1600Mhz(even dual channel). If they overclock like the 1066 sticks I had then they should be lethal.
CL8 in DDR3 is like CL4 in DDR2 - its the fast timing.
All those dual channel kits should also work for AM3 :laugh:
i'd prefer this i5 based stuff on AM3 anyway, lower voltage is always a better choice
