I was curious what the difference was between getting 2 x 8GB sticks, and 4 x 4 GB sticks?
I am building a video editing / gaming rig, and my last pieces to the puzzle are RAM and a MOBO. I'm currently have the i7-3770K CPU, and I just wanted to ask the experts here what motherboard and ram set I should get. I may plan on over-clocking someday, hence I got a nice heatsink fan, and I was worried about the high-profile CORSAIR memory butting up against the heatsink.
Are there any issues with just using 2 x 8GB sticks, and having 2 slots empty? Do certain MOBO's have issues with this configuration?
