Want to upgrade my RAM, and I'm super anal about performance and such, so I'd like to get a full matching kit. Right now I'm running 6GB of Mushkin Enhanced Blackline DDR3 1600 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226030)

I paid $140+shipping for these, and they're in immaculate condition. Looking to get around $100 shipped. Cross posting on MI as well.

Keep in mind, this is Triple Channel memory. I use them on an Intel 1366 chipset with a Core i7 930. 7-8-7-20 timing, which was the best I could find at the time, and they have plenty of overclocking headroom (keep in mind most boards will need to "overclock" them to get them to run at the spec'd 1600 speed)

Feel free to ask any questions. I can post pics of them in my rig if anyone would like to see them installed.

Rip. Newegg has them for way cheaper now, even for the reduced price.

This model is discontinued, so double check your models ;)

EDIT: In doing some looking, technically you're correct, there are a couple 12GB kits that are cheaper. However, the latency on those sticks is quite a bit slower, which is why I didn't get those. Lower latency == faster RAM.
