Hey,
I am looking, and struggling to find, some decent and affordable 1866MHz memory for my new A8-3850.
I am from England and on all the trusted websites I know from here, there is basically nothing. I know that the Llano chips only supports up to 1866MHz speeds and I also know there is a tangible benefit for buying memory of this speed over 1600MHz, more so than buying say 1600MHz memory with low latency.
So ideally I am looking for 1866MHz @ 1.5v and CL8, but CL9 would do fine too.
My question is, can I just get 2000Mhz mem and clock it down? Will this still be supported by the chip? I know I could overclock some 1600MHz speed mem but I don't want to raise the voltages.
cheers.
