Finding the perfect mate
Once these Nehalem chips can finally be purchased, finding the perfect RAM to go with it may be more difficult than with previous chips. You need to make sure the voltage is low enough that the Core i7 CPU can handle it, as well as ensuring you can get the most out of your triple channel DDR3. TECHGAGE, seeing as how they have an Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 already, were nice enough to test out five different memory configurations. See what differences they saw here.
