    Question Z97 OC5 Bundle - cheaper RAM?

    Hi, very interested in the new Pentium AE bundle you have, but don't really want to shell out for premium grade high speed memory sticks, I think 1600 Mhz is ample.

    Is there any chance of providing an option for slower RAM?

    Cheers

    To use your wording "well duh" And your subsequent post was on Sunday...its not entirely unreasonable to think that maybe, just mayb they aren't looking at the SCAN section?

    If you were in a hurry to get an answer you would have had one by now if you had simply picked up the phone on Friday at 1pm.

    I've asked one of my Retail colleagues to check this for you, but from what I understand - there wouldn't be a lot of difference in the costing.

    Trolls? How on earth were we trolling?
    I advised it was a Sunday when you chased for an update and Keyboard said if you phoned you could have had a quicker answer.

    That isn't trolling.

    Nevermind, some people are too stubborn to help. We will know for next time though.

    I see one of my colleagues has been in touch with you regarding the memory directly.
