hey guys, I'm buying some new parts sometime this week.
it says under mobo specs
"The Intel G41 Express Chipset is designed to support dual-channel DDR3 1333 (overclocking)/ 1066 /800 architecture, 1333/1066/800 Front Side Bus (FSB), PCIe 1.1, and mutli-core CPUs. It especially includes Intel Fast memory bandwidth and reduces the latency of the memory accesses."
does that mean if I buy
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit
it simply won't run unless i overclock the mobo's FSB, which is something I have no idea how, or does it mean it'll work, just at a lesser speed untill i overclock.
My full system currently is qx6700 antec 900 the BeQuiet L7 530w psu from ocuk, and a geforce 8800 GTX. i'd be looking at upgrading to a 460 or maybe a 480 if it's not pushing too much of a bottleneck, and ofc if the PSU is up to it.
So I guess i'm asking, which ram should I buy? I want the fastest option, but i'm limited to 4GB.
