forgot to put down i think its got the 32nm 8-core desktop processor featuring the all-new "Bulldozer" architecture and ive read that with this it should be able to handle 2100+ but need comformation off people who know there stuff as to weather this will work or not thanks again in advance for any reply's

haha actually when ive looked at all the info ive put down and comparing the two together its looking like 1866mhz is the best optimum speed without having to oc it which i dont know how to do never tried it, so might of answered my own question lmao but if anyone has any further info still let me know cheers

hello new friend, hehe. there is a lot of confusion on the market, how else would they sell you things you don't need? even though your system might handle 2133, and the cpu can run at 1866, doesn't mean anything over 1600mhz is going to make a day to day notice in what you're doing. AND THAT is the big point. ((The AMD guys here will tell you what speed your memory controller actually runs at, it's either 1333 or 1600.))

no matter what, you might have to "overclock" the ram; after you put it in you might need to go in to the bios and set the settings manually. you won't really know until you put in some new sticks and checkout cpuz..

do you have memory sticks now? if so what?

A low latency 1600mhz 8gb to 16gb kit should be more than enough for you; blow $5 more and go 1866/1800 if you please. latency is more important once you pass/reach 1600mhz.

Avoid anything with a recommended voltage higher than 1.5V.
