I haven't got around to buying new ram yet but I was looking at what my motherboard supports and this scares me. It says that the ram speed will only be 333MHz (highlighted in red) and not 400MHz if I use 2 double sided ram sticks in dual channel like the ones I want to get. Is this really going to **** me over?
