Without knowing what the RAM is going into... 1866 DDR3 is just about the sweet spot - get 8G.

For gaming, 1600 MHz is enough. When comparing higher speeds of RAM with 1600 MHz speed, the benchmarks yield difference in results that can't be noticed (say, 0.1- 1 fps). Games are more dependent on the size of RAM than it's speed.

I said 1866 as it is sometime less expensive.

I just said what is enough. I didn't mean to make your statement wrong. :)  Just said what THF memory masters said to me.

It's true 1866 will give very little performance increase compared to 1600 - when I recently put my computer together 1866 was priced right. That is what I meant by sweet spot.

Oh, okay. If they were about same price, getting lower speed makes no sense :D
