To other drivers on the road, a Lexus is no different from a Hyundai Excel. It can only travel the Max legal speed limit. It's more like the "show off" mentality.

Is this good ram for an Ivy Bridge system or should I get something that is lower voltage? I want something that's in the "upper middle range". This looks like it might fit the bill.
