So I'm finally going to upgrade to windows 7, haven't had funds to do it really until now. With that I am also going to up the amount of RAM I'm running.
This is the link to my current motherboard:
MSI Global ? Mainboard - 870-G45
This is the RAM I was looking at so far:
Newegg.com - Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BLT2KIT4G3D1337DT1TX0
On the MoBo specs it says the speeds for memory are DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600* (OC), does it mean that I can buy memory at the 1600 speed or just that it can be effectively clocked up to that? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Also If anyone know a better choice on ram that would be great. I'm looking at 8 gigabytes of it. Maybe a little but more but for now I think I'll be happy with 8.
