Hey people,

Please let me know which would be better option for RAM.

1)12 GB 1333 mhz
2)24 GB 1066 mhz

The primary purpose for the pc would be gaming..

Thanks..

So much RAM. What is the purpose. You will put 4GB x 6 DIMMs on a X58..?

Well I am planning to go for alienware in month of may...

I have talked to dell people and they say that hopefully aurora area51 would be available by may with customization options..That is why i am asking...

And to think I thought 8 GB was over kill :X . Id seriously reconsider the amount of RAM you are pushing in your box. You might as well save that money and put it into a sick GPU or something.

of course 24 gb 1066 ghz...
will you assemble a pc??coz which company will give 24 pc?

Hey as i said i am planning to go for alienware with reasonably high config so that my pc could be future proof for atleast 4-5 years..

1. Alienware is way to over priced. If you mention your budget -- we can suggest a better performing system for cheaper price.
2. 24GB is way way to much RAM. 4 GB is ideal, 6-8 GB is the most you should go.
3. Depends what you want to do with your system to qualify for 4-5 years of future proof status.

Let us know. Best of luck.
