    For an i7 2720 processor on a Intel® HM65 Express Chipset, what are the top DDR3 memory modules? I'm looking for at least 8GB at 1600MHz.

    DDR3 =/= DDR3

    Just get a good deal and a brand you heard before with a good warranty.

    Mishkin and OCZ used to send you some really rad stickers if you use their memory.

    That alone makes it 'better' than anything else out there.........
