So, I have a BIOSTAR TP45E Motherboard and I want to upgrade to DDR3 Memory. The board supports 2 sticks with up to 2GB on each stick. I found a great deal on TigerDirect, OCZ Intel 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB) for only 47.99. I want to know, will this run at 1333Mhz or 1600Mhz, because my board supports up to 1333Mhz, but can I overclock it? On NewEgg it says:
Support Dual Channel DDR3 800/1066/1333(OC) MHz
I'm guessing 1333 is already overclocked and it can't any higher, but am I wrong?
Thanks

Your fine, you will be able to run those @ 1333Mhz. All you have to do is make sure you have the correct timings and settings to run at 1333Mhz (Bios).

Btw : don't forget to make sure those modules are compatible with your motherboard. Other than that you have nothing to worry about....
