Intel mother board RAM speeds

[iAcai]

Im looking to make a transition into using an intel CPU. I have looked at corresponding motherboards for the 4790k and was wondering why many intel motherboards use lower memory speeds such as 1600 and 1866mhz where most amd boards will use quite a lot more for example im running 2133 in my current ram setup. Intel boards are quite a lot mor expensive than amd stuff in many cases and i was wondering if (on the ram side of things) they had lower performance?

You need to look at the Z97 boards most will take 2400 memory at the least.

well here is an example of an expensive board that uses lower memory, is it simple sue to limited edition qualities?

I think you misunderstood the question, i am simply curious as to why a board that only supports 1866 max is more expensive. i already know how to shop for a board that fits my needs. Its an inquiry of why, not about me needing a board. Thanks for the info about this board though.
