Could someone please give me a bit of advise on ram (speed) and compatibility with my CPU, please?
I hope this makes some kind of sense...
I have a AMD Phenom II x4 840 and 8Gb ram (2x4Gb stick 1 is Hynix 128000U 1600MHz, and stick 2 is Elixir 128000 (I think) 1600MHZ.
My question is........is my ram too fast for my cpu or would the cpu downgrade the speed to what it can handle.
The reason I ask is because my system has become unstable in the past couple of weeks or so. And in the research I've done I've found that my cpu can use a max ram speed of 1333MHz.
Thanks
