Is 1066Mhz RAM fast enough for modern gaming/editing?

[HawesDoesIt]

Title says the main question, just trying to cut $30 off the build since I already have 1066 DDR3 RAM laying around.

Mixing old and new ram may or may not work . even identical modules purchased at separate times might be incompatible.

Best purchased in pairs from the same retail pack.

In modern editing 1066 is a bit slow.
You'll want to go for something well balanced such as 1866MHz RAM, and buy the same model for all sticks in the future due to the voltage irregularities and recognition issues different modules create.

wtf are you guys talking about its all the same ram lol

I think 1066 is a little slow it was never a popular speed. If you're building a system for a power user or someone current with PCs they will probably notice. If it's for an older not to technical person they may not care. You can use it and if the customer complains then get him some 1600. If he doesn't complain then you got rid of some old stuff.

They wanna play some Overwatch and CoD for their youtube channel and they do Premier editing. They dont know about hardware though. so ill see if it bothers them.
