A relative of mine was going to get me a couple of sticks of ram, but I'm not entirely sure that my motherboard supports it. The ram in question that we want to get is G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2x8 gb) ( link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231571
Edit: According to Blackbird, my board will have a hard time running the ram at that speed, but according to drkatz it is compatible. Why exactly is that, and will it affect performance significantly if i choose to use it?
