Match current RAM or just buy new?

So I have 6gb DDR3 PC12800 OCZ Gold in the machine. Works fine… but listening to you guys talking about a fire sale on DDR3 got me thinking… I could use another 6gb for fun, or fuck it, for $20 more, I can get 24gb…

So… so I sell the OCZ Gold and try to recoup a little, or keep looking for more of it? I think it is discontinued or something, I can’t find it on Tiger or Newegg.

Anyone on here want it? It is $71 everywhere I find it ( I think they are all selling the same 6gb pack) but I’d let it go for significantly less than that if someone wanted to help me buy the Patriot ram mentioned above.

I just bought that exact RAM. I had CAS6 6GB G.Skill ram but I wanted more. They didnt sell my current ram anymore so I upgraded to this CAS9 24GB ram and now trying to sell the G.skill. The bigger ram is certainly slower thats why its so cheap. My only complaint is that it will not boot with Intel XMP enabled as advertised. I had to put the timings in manually and found 2 timings that would cause it not to boot. I have an open support case now.

I feel bad doing it because nothing I’ve ever been able to do consumes more than 5GB or so…

For the price of memory now, you might as well just load it up. I bought 12GB of RAM for my fiancee’s build, not because she really needed it, but it only costed me like $40.

go big or go home!!!

prices will only come down more so I wouldn’t bother unless you’re using all.

i felt good upgrading my macbook ram to 8gb. i can’t imagine what or why someone would need 24gb for
