1866 mhz on a 2133 mhz capable cpu

[Bien Alexis Labine]

I'm planning to buy a an AMD A10 7800 but looking at the specs. It is said that it only supports 2133 mhz ram but most shops in the vicinity only offers an 1866 mhz ram.

So will it fit or can I use bios to fix the problem.
Thanks guys

2133 is the MAXIMUM speed supported, not the ONLY speed supported. DDR3 1866mhz will work perfectly fine.

Thanks for the reply.
And another thing, will it greatly affect the performance of the processor?

Not greatly, but somewhat. For gaming, there's not a significant difference in most cases, but for other processes, you might see a slight bump in performance.
