So, recently, I've realized I'm running low on RAM due to the new high demand games coming out so I decided to get an upgrade, but there's a bit of a problem.

My ram model is this one KHX1866C10D3 I have two sticks of 4 GBs and I cannot find the same stick anywhere on the internet so I've went looking for something else and found a stick it's basically Kingston 1866hz DD3 everything is fine but there's something called Max Bandwith..? On my RAM that I currently have in my PC it sais PC3-14200 and on the HyperX Kingston I wanna but is 14900 will it matter if I put two sticks of 14900 in my PC even tho these are 14200?
 
Solution
It may work or not but not because of those "Max Bandwidth" thingies. it's just a maximum but should work at lover values, lower speeds.
