I increased my Corsair Dominator ram from 4GB to 8GB recently.
I was wondering, due to a phone conversation with a Corsair Tech, if what he told me is correct.
He said I would be stuck running the ram at 800MHz because I increased to 8GB.
He said the more ram one runs, the slower it needs to be run, Windows limitation.
Does this sound right?
Is it really even worth it for me to try to run it faster as far as real world gaming performance? The system works flawlessly right now, runs like a raped ape in the games I play. Will I see dramatic differences?
