Question about DDR3 Memory and motherboard compatibility DDR3 speeds include: 1066, 1333, 1600, 1800, and 1866 (I am leaving out 2000's series). The motherboard I am looking at has the memory standards of DDR3 1800 (OC)/1666/1333/1066. Question: What is DDR3 1666? Assuming the port is compatible, will DDR3 1600 work with this board?
