Most people have no use in RAM with higher speeds than 1600MHz unless they have an APU

nope. toms and other sites did a review of intel i7 and faster ram. they found ram faster then 1866 was a waste. you were paying more for the ram then you were getting back for speed on the system.

okay thx. but will the dominator in 1600 or 1866 mhz be better then the vengeance

It is likely not worth buying new RAM going from 1600 to 1866, and going from 1600 Vengeance to 1600 Dominator would have no performance boost

Really depends on what you do as far as seeing any gain, if you do a lot with memory centric apps and large data sets, like imaging, video, CAD, VMs etc and especially if you multi-task you can see a good gain, the additional bandwidth from high freq DRAM comes in rather handy - but if looking at 2400-2666 and up, Corsair is still new to the arena of high freq which is why that set is almost $600, that's close to what I paid for a 32GB set of 2666 - take a look at the GSkill Tridents in 2666/11 for $270
