on the asus website it says,

Triple-Channel DDR3 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600(O.C.) / 1333 / 1066 support

Does this mean that it only officially supports 1333 & 1066

What happens to the stability of the system if you stick in 3 x 2GB DDR3-1600... in tripple channel?

sorry if its stupid question, im just confiused! :confused:

The stability would be fine, all it means that you would have to O.C. to 1600MHz to use that frequency.
 
Can someone explain the reasoning/logic behind this?

The chipset only officially supports up to 1333, but you can go faster with no issues?

How about other i7 motherboards? The higher you go/more money you spend then you will get official support at the higher speeds?

Sorry so many questions, I just dont understand! :o

In plain english it's just a marketing gimmick, afaik i7 offically only support 1066MHz RAM but can be bumped up.
The higher you go = faster speeds = more money to Eskom.
