Let's say I want to upgrade my RAM to Team Elite DDR3 PC12800 1600Mhz Dual Channel 8GB (2X4GB)

The homepage states that my motherboard will be compatible with 1600MHz, but the asterisk mark is kinda concerning. Does that means I would have to configure my bios to make it properly work or something?

I am an amateur when it comes to bios config so yeah..

Should I upgrade to 1600MHz RAM or should I stick with 1333MHz?

Once there select it and you should have a choice of options, one of which should be labelled "XMP Profile". Select that one and it should automatically adjust the speed of your RAM to...

Then simply back out of the menus, being sure to select "Save changes and exit/reboot".

TA DA! You're done.
