    Hi,
    I have the stock memory which is 4 banks of 4GB Samsung memory chips at CAS11 and CR-2T. The amount for now, 16gb total, is fine but I would like to go with faster ram for when I am working with raw photo files and video. So I would love to get either 1866 CAS 10 or 2133 CAS 11. Now if all the system will support is 1600 and CAS9 it doesn't seem worth the cost unless guarantied CR-1T as well.

    Ideally I would love to have 2133 CAS 11 and 1T but I am not sure 1T will be possible with 4 sticks in the system. I could go 32GB but I hear this is actually slower because of how much memory is out there to cache. Now this could just be hear say as I have no experience going that high.

    So the question is has anyone upgraded their memory and what where you able to upgrade too?
