I am just about to order the components for my little ITX build, but the one thing I can not figure out is whether there is any benefit to performance with the ram over 1866. I have read not to use 1600 or it will slow the system down. Is there any reason not to order 2400 since there is no real cost difference?
Thank you in advance!
