FM2A75 Pro4-M and A10-5800K ram suggestion

[danwest]

hello, i'm building a gaming system with the asrock FM2A75 Pro4-M motherboard and AMD A10-5800K APU processor. i'd like to have about 8GB of RAM.

 

i checked the memory finder on corsair's website but the asrock FM2A75 Pro4-M isn't listed. i'd like some fast ram because i heard the APU performs well with really fast ram at or above 1866. can someone suggest compatible ram part number for my MOBO & CPU combination?

 

thanks.

 

 

p.s, i want to run windows 7 pro 64bit without virtual memory but i don't want to get "out of memory" errors. is 8GB good enough? also, i heard that if you use 4 ram sticks with this board instead of 2, the memory speed gets reduced.

They can! However, there are some limitations to keep in mind with those CPU's.

For a gaming machine 8 gig's would be enough. But 16 certainly wouldn't hurt.

 

On the subject of 2 or four modules....that would be covered under that link I posted for you on memory limitations.
