Will there be more frames for second in games and faster document creation with DDR3 1866 memory instead of DDR3 1600 with AMD Athlon 750K processor? Will overall performance of PC be better as well?
I find it interesting that the AMD processor supports DDR3 1866, while the Intel G3258 processor supports only DDR3 1600.
In Tom's review "Intel Pentium G3258 CPU Review" both the AMD and Intel were tested with DDR3 1600. How much better would the AMD be with DDR3 1866?

There will be no perceptible difference, almost with any RAM speed. For office usage (and many others applications) the bandwidth of the RAM doesn't matter that much. Is the Cas Latency the more important thing, lower CL is better. Few cases do benefit from high bandwidth.

Yes; a few FPS increase in game. It won't affect document creation. What is the max speed that your motherboard support? Try upgrading to something like 2133 or 2400 @ CL10.

No. APU's benefit from the faster memory. You have a discrete video card if you have a 750K.

I think he is thinking about an APU which benefits from fast ram.

APUs benefit more. Games will still gain much smaller benefits.

ram does not affect fps that much, cas 9 1600 is the best for the money

True.

Even better, 1600MHz CL7 from stock.
