Re: Choosing RAM In most instances, when multiple speeds of RAM are supported by the motherboard, it's because multiple cpu's are supported. RAM speed (unless you are OCing) is set by the cpu.
So if your cpu runs as 1333, and you install 1600 RAM, the motherboard (based on the cpu) will set the RAM speed to 1333.
So again, it's not a matter of simply choosing what is faster. It's a matter of selecting the RAM required by the hardware installed.

I guess as long as it is on the vendor list, I had Geil ram that needed to manually be set to 800mhz, otherwise it would default to 667.
Then after it was failing I bought different RAM and it doesn't need manually setting now. Not relative to the topic, nor correcting you. I'm just pointing it out.
