I have an 8GB A-Data DDR3, 1600MHz RAM, 11.11.11.28... making it CAS 11?
I am gonna go for 16GB. I can't find a module, getting options for 2 single chips of 8gb...
Now, is Corsair Vengeance good? Cause i am getting 2 for ~100$ (10,200PKR)
If not, which should i look for. And would they cause a problem, 2 single RAMs?

My MOBO is DH77Kc, Will it accept 1866MHz DDR3 RAM?
And will this MOBO accept dual channel ram kit?

OH, didn't know. How do i know it's running @ 1600? Cause that's the best my board can handle...?

Why does it say"Corsair 8192 MB (DDR3-1337) - XMP 1.3 - P/N: CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10"

Thanks A lot guys, Very appreciated...

I played Watch Dogs on new Rams, and the game didn't drop FPS at all... i'm so happy :D :D :D

1 final question, why does it say "8192 MB (DDR3-1337)" ???
 


is that in the spd section?

means you could run it at the lower speed with tighter timings or possibly lower voltage

mine shows all the way from 1037mhz at 1.2v through to 1500mhz at 1.35v

again x2 so up to 3000mhz which is what i am running at
