Hi, so I accidentally bought faster RAM than my computer can handle, the crucial memory I have (which the crucial hardware checker described as 100% compatible with my laptop :-( ) is designed for 3200 MHz but, my laptop runs it at 2400 MHz. In theory I can return what I have, and get the identical 2400 MHz kit, but the price difference is only five dollars right now, so my time is worth more than the five dollars I would get back.
What I'm actually worried about is, whether there's a performance cost to running 3200 MHz RAM at 2400 MHz relative to running native 2400 MHz RAM?
