I read this review on the alienware site where i bought my computer:
"If you are buying an Intel i7 processor, be aware that the Intel specifications indicate those processors only support memory up to 1066 speed. Dell, however, will be glad to sell you faster memory for more money. If you buy the faster memory, be aware that the processor will down-step the memory speed to 1066 ... this according to the Intel technical support staff I talked to. So you'd better think twice before spending extra cash on faster memory that may not provide any real benefit to your system."
I ended up buying the 1333mhz ram with my i7 920 processor. Is he right? Sounds like that should not be...
