Okay so I've pretty much got my build done, but I just wanted to double check to make sure I understand the RAM.
Looking to get 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, and will be going on this mobo: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157378
I understand that 1866 would down-clock and run at 1600 on that particular MoBo. What I don't understand is if that is at all beneficial to the performance? I know that it would essentially extend the life span since the RAM is running at a lower frequency than it is capable of. Are there any other benefits?
Second uncertainty is regarding the fact that 1866 RAM uses PC3 14900. What exactly does that mean?
I guess since I'm here and posted that MoBo, I'll take any comments on whether its an alright choice or not.
Thanks!
