Hey,
I'm going to be upgrading to an i5-6600K processor with an Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard this Christmas, (I've checked that they're compatible) but I've hit a problem. I'm not sure what RAM to get. Honestly, I don't really understand it, even after researching. My problem is that the new Skylake processors work best with DDR4 Memory, on the Intel page for the CPU listed above, it says that the supported memory types are: DDR4-1866/2133, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V. The part that I'm confused with is the "1866/2133" bit, I know it's the speed but I just need some help deciding what RAM to get for this upgrade and how it will work with the parts I've stated. Thanks for the help.
