You really do not give up that much performance with DDR3-1066 when compared to the more expensive alternatives and that is a good thing to know when putting a system together on a budget. As such, there is still great value in using it. If you have budget freedom, first off I am sure you will be a memory company’s best friend. Secondarily, temper your desires to go straight for the DDR3-2000 kits. It should be a comforting thought that purchasing a DD3-1333 C6 or DDR3-1600 C6 capable kit will offer the balanced performance you are seeking at price that should still allow a night out on the town this month.
