I am yet to buy an intel pentium g620 proccy for my gigabyte ga- h61 d2h
Motherboard. The motherboard says it can support ddr3 rams with speed 800,1066,1333 MHz. But the website for the proccy shows only 1066 in its memory section.

Now my question is whether I can buy a ram of speed 1333 or only 1066?

For info: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-H61M-D2H (rev. 1.0)

Intel® Pentium® Processor G620 (3M Cache, 2.60 GHz))

you can use even 2800Mhz ram with this processor. just will downclock itself to 1066Mhz. thats it.

also you can ask same thing in your existing thread. it'll be answered there only

Thank u very much Sam. Doubt cleared. Will go with a corsair 4 gb 1333 MHz ram
