Question about Memory kits and etc...

[ehcastro3]

I've seen in websites like newegg that they are selling Triple Channel memory kits...I just want to ask if these kits are different from the single memory I can buy...like is there any difference between the 3 exact brand/model DDR3 and the Triple channel memory kits?

TIA

^ Generally these Triple Channel kits are electrically matched pairs, which would have higher probability that they would run stable at the same rated settings ...apart from that there is no other major difference between these and buying 3 single sticks separately...

thanks...

another question: my mobo has 6 ram slots (p6t se Asus)...IF i plan to populate all of them its preferable to have the same memory right? (kingston 2gb ddr3 1333mhz)

^ Yes that would be preferable...
But if you are not able to get the same brand, just make sure all the RAM sticks have the same ratings and operating voltage...
