I have just purchased an AMD A10 5800K APU with this RAM;

GeIL EVO Leggera 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit

It was recommended in a previous build thread, however other reviews on other sites have said to go for 1866MHz RAM otherwise I will be stuck with stability problems.

Is this true?

Thanks in advance!

What reviews have said that?
What motherboard have you went for? For an APU, you're wanting the fastest ram possible. :)

I went for this board: Gigabyte F2A75M-D3H AMD A75 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard

Think that link is classed as competitor, probably best to remove. :)
I'd ignore the review there though, there won't be stability issues with your memory. You'll maybe have to go into the BIOS and set it to run at rated speeds though.
