Hi all,

This is my first post in the forum. I hope to get some help in choosing buying a RAM for my existing system.
Details of my current system:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black edition (soon to be replaced by X6 1075T)
Mobo: MSI 890GXM-G65 (MS-7642)
GFX: ATI Raedon 5870 (Eyefinity edition)
Monitor: 1920x1080(p)
RAM: 2x2GB (Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600, 8-8-8-24 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145263. Link is only for reference)

However my current settings for RAM are as shown in CPU-z
Memory Frequency 666.7 MHz (3:10)
CAS# latency (CL) 9.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 9
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 9
Cycle Time (tRAS) 24
Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 34
Command Rate (CR) 1T
I want to buy a new set of rams preferably 16GB ones, I wanted to know which ones to buy. Should I buy rated ones of my existing RAM or a RAM that has my current settings.

Also I havent overclocked my RAM so far in last 2 years, wondering why the motherboard chose 666.7 mem clock freq(is it defaut value , as far as i know 800 is supported) and can I overclock it.

In short just wanted to know the best match that would give me an optimum performance boost.

Hope things are clear.

Thanks

Any ideas any one please? I managed to overclock the memory frequency to 1600 and reduce the latencies to 8-8-8-24.
