"DDR3-1333 is cheap and plentiful. Stick with the regular value RAM and not the enthusiast ones with heatspreaders for best compatibility"..

"its depends on the CPU, for intel cpu, the memory countrol unit is build in the CPU, 2.0G only supports 1333MHz, but both 2.2G and 2.3G support 1600MHz. The detail can be checked from intel website".

1333, 1666 and 2000 are overclockable..

Whatever you've got 'NOW' get more the 'SAME EXACT part numbered RAM.' Do NOT mix-match your RAM! Especially never mix: Speed, CAS timings, and Voltage. The typical difference between 1333 and 1600 MHz RAM is 1~3%
ADVICED to have SAME brand n type if using both slots! otherwise u will be posting same problem as previous users experienced..  icon_idea.gif

u can go fot it .. but it isn't worth to upgrade from 1333 to 1666. Performance difference is less than 0.1 %

thx for the detailed reply.

the reason i'm askling is becoz a friend bought 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1666MHz SO DIMMs. the lappie detects the ram just fine. but after using the lappie for a few minutes, the whole screen gets very very distorted and it freezes. at first he thought maybe GPU is the problem, but changing back to the 2x4GB Kingston 1333MHz ram he is currently using solves the problem. so what could be causing this problem?

Bro, it's 1600MHz, not 1666.

I'm using Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz in my system now. Check my siggy below. And I never had any problem so far.  icon_rolleyes.gif

oops...my bad. it's 1600MHz. blush.gif

i have to get a a photo of the screen to describe the problem. but could it be a problem with the ram itself. he just bought it recently.

i'm using the seagate momentus xt 750GB with my N55SF. boot time is significantly faster. windows loads everything faster when starting up, but that's about it. games still remain the same.
