I know this thread was already solved, but I didn't want to start a similar thread when I could just use this one. I actually have two questions, first, can an AMD Sempron 145 work with 1866 Mhz? I know it won't support 1866 Mhz and will likely downclock to 1333 Mhz, but will it even boot up? I'm asking because I want to buy 8 GB of ram but I'm upgrading to a FX-8370 CPU so I want to buy 1866 Mhz not 1333 Mhz like I have. My second question is if I change the CPU and RAM of my computer and NOTHING ELSE (Same mobo, VGA card) will my OS still boot up? Or would I have to re-format my hard drives and do a clean install? I know I have found some info on google about this but it went both ways, so would like some help from my go-to computer forum!
