Okay, so in the midst of restoring an old (very first) build from 2013.
I won't bore you with the entire lineup but essentially it's an AMD FX-6100 on an Asus motherboard with a couple of 4gb 1866Mhz sticks and an SSD.
Looking to update the AM3+ mATX to take advantage of the SATA III (over SATA II) and wanting to steer clear of Asus this time. So I've pretty much only two options:
Asrock N68 GS4 FX R2.0 Socket AM3+AM3 mATX (Sata II/6gb but 1866MHz memory which I have!)
and
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Socket AM3+ VGA DVI HDMI 7.1 Channel Audio mATX (Sata III! but maximum 1333Mhz memory)
I'm torn between faster SSD or memory and would the 1866 even WORK on a board set to a max of 1333?
From the vids and forums, thinking memory is the one to forgo but again, will my 1866 work in the Gigabyte?
