it says

4 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066 Hz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture

does that mean i have to get a ddr that is 2000? will 1600 work?
 
Solution
It means the mobo is capable of running those data rates 1066 through 2000. However the MC (memory controller) is the true determining factor of what data rates you can run...What CPU?
