1066mhz vs 1866mhz ddr3 laptop ram (can i use this?)?

Your mobo determines more whether you can run a certain type of ram and more so the i3 is a big family of processors. A specific model number would be a lot more helpful.

I would say no though. an i3 in general, especially one paired with a mobo that suggests 1066 ram) wouldn't take advantage of 1866 ram... not much would take advantage of 1866 ram. The only people who really use this are programmers/nutsoverclockers/heavy video/photo editors. And you will not be able to do these things with just an i3 that recommends 1066mhz ram. I would suggest 1333 mhz.

Depending on what you are using it for though faster memory clocks won't help THAT much.

howdy, do no longer forget approximately to make confident the GPU area. make confident that's a ATI/Nvidia, and preferrably with a dedicated video answer. So your now no longer sharing your technique memory with the video GPU. even though if simply by actuality which you are going to have frequently regarded the GPU factor. i might % the quad-middle, yet thats merely me. Later you ought to purchase extra memory if its needed later, as expenses often drop.
