Just a few quick questions on my first build (actually for my friend)
We are building an extreamly budget gaming rig and here were the specs we had in mind
AMD A4-5300 (Dual core 3.4GHz, turbo to 3.6GHz)
MSI FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) *later changed to an ASUS F2A55-M LK PLUS FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2)*
4GB DDR3-1866MHz PC3 14900
I recently learned that the A4 only accepts 1600MHz Ram, is that correct? Furthermore I learned that if you pop a 1600MHz ram stick and overclock it to 1866, is that correct? Also, is there any benefit to the RAM stick's lifespan to get an 1866 and "overclock" it to 1866 (because the a4 will only boot the ram sticks at 1600, but appearently will boot with an overclocked 1600mhz stick) Thanks for your responces ahead of time!
