Non OC here, any reason for me to 1866 CL9 RAM?

I'm building a computer which will be used for productivity purposes only. At max will be watching digital movies(itunes 1080p) or play HD youtube videos. Processor will be i3 4130 and am looking at buying an intel H81 with onboard graphics.

I cant remember which article I read it on the site but I vaguely remember an article here recommending not to buy 1333 or 1000 Mhz RAM.

H81 will not allow memory overclocking, i3 memory spec goes up to 1600, so you can't run it over 1600.

Never knew that. Thanks for clearing that up. So I guess 1600 is the only choice.

1866 will work on 1600 as well, just no real point in paying extra for it.

Cool. Thanks for the headsup.
