mobo & memory ?

[gvguy39]

I have been a little confused about a mobo and memory configuration. When u look at the specs of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128378, for example, it states 1333 ddr3 and 1600 oc. Now to have the memory running at 1600, does one install 1333 and overclocking it to potentially run at 1600 or are u installing 1600 and setting the timings in bios to get it to run at 1600? I think that I understand that the mobo is rated to run 1333 natively, and thru overclocking u can achieve 1600, but just not sure which memory I would buy if I were to purchase this particular board.

I bought 1600 memory, When first installed it will default to 1333, You can just change the memory clock from 6.66 to 8.00 to get your 1600. I think tighter timings running at 1333 is actually the better way to go though.
