Don't forget the memory

Apart from the processor the main bits that need installing on the mobo are the memory modules, and here is what we got for those.  What a great name - Vengeance!  Anyway, there are two of these units in the box.  Each one has its own heatsink, which I guess is why they look like a comb.  I'm not sure how much power they need - we should find out.  Each module has 4 Gigabytes of memory, so we will have 8 Gigabytes altogether.  That sounds like a lot, and should help our computer do complicated things.  Wish I had that much memory!  Why this particular choice?   It was recommended on Amazon for use with the Core i3 processor.  Perhaps we could have got away with less than 8 Gigabytes, but at only £38 we hope it's a good investment.
