IB-E supports DDR4. It's mostly a processor thing, as long as the mobo supports the processor (who, in turn, supports the mem type), you should be able to pick these up. Samsung's doesn't release till mid 2014, but I imagine G.Skill's will be the first and the IB-E will be the first CPU to support it!

Out of curiosity, why do you need DDR4? Fast quad channel DDR3 will saisfy every rendering need you may have for the next 5 years.

And in terms of gaming, only platform that benefits from faster RAM after 2133 is AMD, since they are memory bottlenecked. 

No need, just a desire. Won't be building another machine until, at least, Volta, so this will be a nice little perk.

Your second sentence is news to me, though. 


Yer I been planning to build a gaming rig when the Volta comes out. ATM just got a shitty laptop but that is fine for now as just been organising my adult life into some logical order haha.

On a side note, how will old games perform with DDR4? i.e. where they programmed in a way to work with DDR3 architecture or ram type doesn't really matter too much?
