Probably an old question but the posts I've seen go back 2 years or more.
I am thinking of building an I7 machine, 2600K processor. Sole purpose is HD video editing using Windows 7. I was thinking of 8 Gb of DDR3 RAM but see that for about the same price I could get 12 Gb if I choose slower modules (I am assuming that numbers like 1333, 1600, 1866 refer to the speed - certainly the price seems to go up as these numbers go up - you see from this that I am not too sophisticated! :\).
Any thoughts?
