Inspector:
i thought they had to be bought in a set of triple channel RAM

If you have four already, like lifeskills does then no, just buy two more. For stability's sake they should be just like what you already have.

If you plan to get RAM and don't have it, then a triple channel kit is the way to go. They usually sell for less in three's anyway.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Evga is having a battlefield contest, where you just play atleast once and you're entered. If any one thinks they have a chance of winning that you might get the ram. lol

You need sets of three. and they should match. So if you buy two more sticks, just like the other ones, it should work fine. (that's what I would do)

Good to hear.  RAM is so expensive.

You never know when it will be,.... early or later on in the day. Usually it's been later on and sometimes as late as in the wee hours of the next day. But last time it was on the last day, during the day.

Good luck to us all, and an early congratulations from me, to this time's winner!

These ARE economically difficult times. I work for Ralphs Grocery Company, and our contract expires next week. If there is a strike or a lockout, both my wife and myself will be out of a paycheck. It would be very good if you guys could keep me and my family in your prayers! If I am fortunate enough to win this beautiful MSI mobo and graphics cards I would need to finish the build after the new contract is ratified...Sad

Even though I haven't been posting much in these forums recently and being occupied by a move I'm unhappy with. I still wish the winner all the best and I say to myself "It could of been me.".
