Do you know what’s better than a gaming PC with DDR3 RAM? A gaming PC with DDR4 RAM, of course.

Now, I know some of you are asking: “but what motherboard can I slot this sweet RAM into?”. Fortunately, the new X99 chipsets should be on their way to SA, too.

The X99 board will not only allow for a shift to DDR4 memory, but will support 8-core CPUs at the top end and Haswell-E, according to Anandtech.
