woob if you can't I7 just get I5. I5 will still own pretty hard and be much cheaper.
Plus resale value on Intel is much better than AMD so your pretty much hitting two birds with one stone

Lol resale value, whats next? Is it going to provide a steady stream of income or are you getting dividends over the next ten years by going intel?

FYI, I ran i5 memories without issues on the M4A89GTD, but it's best to go with Asus' recommended list of memories for that board. Some RAM manufacturers like OCZ actually designates the memory for AMD or i5 even though the RAM has the same model number.

I have another Asus board that is giving me errors for the memories (for i5) I bought for it... and I don't have time to deal with it right now and was only able to run 1 single stick.

Weird. I looked at the ASUS QVL for memory and the supposed "i5 optimized" RAM is the one that's compatible. Oh wells. It's the cheaper option anyway.

EDIT: Realized that the G.Skill RAM on the ASUS QVL is different. And I've read anecdotal reports that people are having trouble running G Skill RAM (both the models I linked) with the mobo I want. Thus, I'm going to buy Corsair RAM: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...X4GX3M2A1600C9
