I tried searching for any similar posts and couldn't find anything. I'd like to upgrade my memory. As stated in the title I have a Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 motherboard, and doing some research on Gigabyte's site I found:
Support for DDR3 1800(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules (Note 2)
Note 2 :To reach DDR3 1800MHz or above, you must install two memory modules and install them in the DDR3_3 and DDR3_4 memory sockets."
This lead me to a few questions:
Since 1600 isn't listed, does that mean it wouldn't be supported or that I'd have to place them in the 3 and 4 slots?
Doing a search on newegg, I couldn't find any 1800 memory but I did find 1866. Would my motherboard just bottleneck or slow the speed down to 1800? Furthermore, would overclocking at 1800 require any tweaking of settings in the BIOS or would I be able to plug them in and go? The motherboard manual doesn't give any real info on this.
Finally, would I have to worry about ganged vs unganged?
Thanks in advance for any help
