	WTF is the difference between: DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) And the follow up would be if my mobo/cpu can support DDR3 1866 - will it automatically handle either PC3 15000 or 14900? -----signature----- "man up, you wimp." - Groucho48 "I'm not racist at all." - dae_trist

	I am not an expert...by any means. But will attempt to answer as best I can The first # (DDR3xxxx) refers to the maximum clock speed the Ram can operate at (in this case, 1.866 Ghz.) The second 3 (PCyyyy) refers the maximum transfer rate that the memory reaches, in MB/s Clock speed is backwards compatible (Mobos can normally be throttled down in clock speed.) I don't think the data transfer limit matters....it should work, just at a bit slower transfer rate. Best thing to do is check mobo documentation if you aren't sure. -----signature----- Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich First comes smiles, then lies.

	The original Dance Dance Revolution had better songs. They started to get stupider with different releases. I seem to recall DDR3 was terrible. -----signature----- THOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA... Future Grand President For Life of the Universe (you'll see! you'll be sorry then!) Outpost Terrorist #1!
