Hi,
Still looking for a good RAM kit, $150 or less.
I saw this Gskill RAM dual-channel set -

....and was wondering if the sort of high latency (10) would hinder it a little and make it effectually not much faster than lower latency 1600 or 1333 RAM, or if it would be noticeably faster. I do lots of AutoCAD 2D drafting on my PC right now, so I want pretty responsive/fast RAM that my motherboard won't throw a fit over.
Speaking of which, with the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 motherboard, will the XMP settings be recognized automatically, or what sort of issues should I be aware of when attempting to run RAM that is faster than my cpu (i7-2600K) memory controller handles (1333)? I know that with my current machine, same motherboard (Pro but not Gen3) with an i5-2500K and Kingston HyperX 1333 RAM (non-XMP I think), there is no XMP option that shows up in the UEFI, at least not that I have seen; does it suddenly show up in the BIOS if RAM that supports XMP is installed? How does it all work?
Thank you.
