About this tag
The memory standard tag covers discussions about RAM compatibility and speed specifications for motherboards and CPUs. A common topic is determining supported RAM speeds by distinguishing between the memory standard (e.g., DDR3 1866 MHz) and other factors like Front Side Bus or CPU memory controller limits. Users often seek advice on matching RAM modules to their system's memory standard, especially for older platforms like AM3+ with DDR3. The tag focuses on practical troubleshooting and hardware selection guidance.
Hey guys, when determining the speed of the RAM that the motherboard can support, should I be looking at the speed of the Front Side Bus or the speed of the memory standard?
For example, looking at the images below, can I get RAM that can only run at 1866 or 2000 OC'd or can I run RAM that...
