I am building my first system.
I will be using an Intel Core i5-650 (3.2 GHz) CPU.
I will also be using an ASUS motherboard.
I was looking up the ASUS Qualified Vendor List of memory modules that are compatible with the MOBO. I am having some problems:
1. It lists memory modules that are compatible with CPU's running at 2.93GHz. What about faster CPU's like my 3.2GHz core i5-650?
2. Their motherboard manuals state that the MOBO's support up to 16GB of RAM, however none of the listed compatible memory modules are in 16GB configurations. They don't even list 8GB configs.
I tried to contact ASUS support, but they want serial numbers, etc. I haven't purchased the motherboard yet, so I can't give them a S/N.
How do i go about selecting memory modules given the above constraints?
