Does a G3220 support only 1333MHz memory?

[IamNewbieSorry]

Is it true that an Intel Pentium G3220 only supports 1333MHz memory? Or will it also support 1600MHz?

Yes.........only 1333Mhz

Quote: G32xx only supports 1333Mhz


The Pentium G3258 falls on the lower end of the Pentium bracket. The frequency is high, at 3.2 GHz and matching the G3420, but it comes with only DDR3-1333 support (signified by the G32xx rather than G34xx naming). While this usually does not matter much for overclockers who will likely overclock the memory as well, it does have an effect due to the binning process. Enthusiasts already know that CPUs with DDR3-1600 support can use memory kits above 2666 MHz, but the use of DDR3-1333 on the Pentium-AE CPU may be limiting. It should, theoretically, mean that Intel has a lot more CPUs from the production line that fit into this category.
