RDIMM's are generally cheaper as ECC UDIMM's are rare, and it doesn't 
matter what brands or w/e you use AFAIK - I have never had problems with 
mismatched ebay sticks.

If you want to play games on higher settings that can't utilize 16 cores 
you will have to get a better CPU, like a 6328, 6386SE or 6287SE. 
Something cool you can do with this too is play yours in a VM like me 
with an attached graphics card.
I would do a 6328 and a 6386SE combo with the first used for games.

If you want 1600mhz you need 63xx CPU's I believe.
