what type of ram is needed for AMD A10 6700 ddr1,ddr2,ddr3??

 

[TechCIDLC]

AMD APUs benefit from fast RAM. A good choice would be 8GB DDR3 @ 1866Mhz with a CAS latency of 9.

Grab any DDR3 dual channel 8 GB kit. (4Gb*2). Minimum 1600MHz with CAS9.

What are your MB specs?

 

[Tradesman1]

Your 6700 APU is certified up through 1866, the GSkill SNipers and Ripjaws X lines in 1866/9 would be good choices, 2133 is a possible, but no guarantees

Could I use 2133Mhz RAM with the AMD A10 Kaveri?

Good article on the 7850K Kavari, running 2133, nice jump in performance

Thanks Tradesman, but would the 2133 RAM be equivalent to the DDR5 Ram found in most graphics cards these days?

 

[Tradesman1]

No those are completely different animals, the Kavari has an integrated GPU on the die and utilizes system DRAM rather than the dedicated DRAM used by a discrete GPU (graphics card)

Oh, ok. Thanks!

No worries 😉
