Memory Compatibility
Strengths: Intel
Weakness: Marketing
The Intel site and data sheets have some fine print so you need to pay close attention. Best performance will be achieved with only three matched 1333Mhz DIMMs and each must operate at 1.6v or lower. Good luck finding 1600MHz DIMMs that operate under 1.6v and meet "XMP version 1.2 performance profile support for memory speeds above 1333 MHz."
