Hey there.

I have to ask one questiong, I didn't ding the answer on the official site in the documentation. It's still a trouble to me, that's why decided to post here.

I'm gotta buy an i7 processor, to be exact, i7-950. I've just reader these sweets can't handle the memory's frequency over than 1066 Mhz. Am I wrong? I missed something? It will be installed on a Rampage II Extreme motherboard from Asus and I will having a triple 2048Mb kit with 2000Mhz on them. As far as I know from the specification the motherboard is supporting this frequency at all. But what with the processor?

I also got reader that i7 Extreme can works with greater frequencies. I have the budged and can't afford an ability to buy it for myself.

Any advices will be appreciated, thank you.

Offically there isn't support for more than 1066 but many computers will work with higher.

There isn't much point in having very fast memory, unless you intend overclocking.
