    What he said.

    I got the AMD card as I don't do much CAD and 3D Modelling.

    Awesome card for gaming and the price was right.

    I'm also 99% sure that it will run 1866 if you wanted to look at those as well. My M4600 recognized my 2x4GB 1866 modules as soon as I pluged them in.

    is it able to take advantage of them? i'm considering a ram upgrade and contemplating either 1600MHz modules or 1866

    Yep! They are running at 1866 MHz according to BIOS.

    Have you noticed any increase in real world performance?

    highly unlikely it would result in any visible performance gains. i was just curious to find out if it was supported in case the price was near enough to 1600/1333 to justify

    The 1866 RAM I was looking at had pretty high timing compared to the 1600. I asked around and it seems the slower timing almost negated the speed boost and didn't justify the price increase, so I purchased the 1600mhz instead.

    True, 1600MHz is CAS-9 while the 1866MHz is CAS-11. They perform similarly, thus you can grab a 1600MHz and save about 50$ :)

    It will run at 1600MHz only if you choose a 2720QM or higher. Lower end CPU's will be limited at 1333MHz

    The only performance increase I saw was becuase I went from 2GB of ram to 8GB of ram. In all honesty, I'm just futureproofing.
