    Hi, in just 2 weeks i will be getting my M14X, while waiting i will buy this:
    > Kingston HyperX 8GB 1866MHz (KHX1866C11S3P1K2/8G) or this
    > Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600MHz (KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G)

    Are there any other components in the computer that could limit the effectiveness of high RAM speeds?

    I have a quick RAM question. I configured mines as 6GB, is that a bottle-neck for performance? or I should have stuck to 4GB RAM? Thank in advance!
