Hi there people of earth
at the moment i only have a 2x2GB DDR3 which is really low considering that most games now need 8GB, the problem is ... i wil be upgrading to intel's skylake upcoming series in a few months and i really don't wanna buy a second set of memories when it's out, so I'm looking for something that can work with skylake in the future.
i did my "research" and found out that skylake will only support DDR3L 1600 and DDR4, and we can't simply take a normal DDR3 that has a low voltage and use it because they are not the same thing, in the beginning i was a bit unsure and i thought that these are just rumors but now crosair released a new product series that has the title "intel 6th generation support" and they are all DDR3Ls with 1600mhz clock, so the question is .. do i really need those? is this information correct? because i don't think they are going to be available for at least a month and honestly i don't wanna go through the process of shipping a stick of ram to Egypt and it would be nice to have the 8GB memory since i have everything ready beside the RAM; and if i do get them will they work with my current to-be-thrown-away-after-skylake motherboard?
my processor is : AMD phenom II x4 955
motherboard: gigabyte GA-970a-D3P
thanks in advance and i apologize for my horrible English
