I would like to extend the life of my old desktop computer for a while by maxing out it's memory without spending too much on it (it's old...)
The motherboard is
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8H61-M LX
Which I understand can support 2 sticks of DDR3 with 1333mhz.
I want to order memory from abroad, and I live in a country where it's not cheap to return stuff to amazon by mail. So whatever I buy has to be compatible, otherwise I can't really refund it.
I cannot find cheap ( +/- 50$) memory sticks that are 2x8GB 1333Mhz and are from a well known manufacturer.
I am thinking of either getting off brand 1333mhz memory sticks from the likes of A-Tech: https://www.amazon.com/PC3-10600-DESKTOP-Modules-240-pin-Tech/dp/B00C537AWQ/ref=sr_1_1_ssp
Or getting some branded 1600mhz ones such as https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-original-240-pin-PC3-12800-desktop/dp/B00G1H3UUI/ref=sr_1_5
Which ones are likely too be better? I've read on some forums that 16000mhz are good on 1333 boards. Is this true?
