6 or 12gb is up to you, unless your going to be doing video editing/rendering 12gb is pretty pointless tho.

1600mhz to 2000mhz is little difference so again its up to you.

All will do you fine EXCEPT the OCZ as they have moved away from ram to focus on SSD's and thus you might have problems getting replacements in the future if something goes bad.

I am thinking the mushkin black, i don't have the money for the redline can get the black for £83 inc delivery from germany or 2 sets of corsair 3x2gb for £76 posted.

The Redline I linked are £19.99 for a 2gb stick grab 3 for £60 and you get free postage from Aria.

For a stable oc, only 3 sticks installed.12gb is overkill if you dont have use for it.3x2gb from SieBs link is a good deal

settled for >>>

Mushkin 998776 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 1600MHZ Frostbyte 9-9-9-24 for....€70 inc delivery.

Upped my xeon w3520 2.66 to a w3565 3.2.

So doubled my ram and cpu for €10 not bad!

They had the redlines for 12gb for €105 inc delivery.

maybe next time!
