I've looked around and probably due to not wording my searches correctly I haven't found the solution.
I have the ability to run 4 sticks in quad channel. Right now I have 2x4gb Kingston Technology HyperX 12800 in parallel. I'm thinking of purchasing another 8gb kit.
Should I purchase the same speed or can I purchase faster sticks? Found a good price on the Kingston predators (19200) and if it'll benefit me they are the same price as the 12800's. I didn't know if the difference of speeds would hinder the setup in some way.
Someday down the road I might upgrade the current sticks for OCing.
Hardware:
I5-3570k OC'd to 4.4ghz
Asrock Extreme6
Kingston Hyperx 12800 2x4gb
Asus GTX 660ti turbo x2
Crucial M4 128gb SSD
WD Black 1TB HDD x2
Antec DF-85
CM 212 Evo
