Lately, I have been toying around with the AMD A4-3400 APU and decided to plug in the Corsair XM3 DDR3 2000Mhz DDR3 Dual Channel memory kit (www.epinions.com/content_590336528004) to my AsRock A75 motherboard to see if there was any measurable performance boost. X_X

Surprisingly, I did! :-bd

In contrast to the Intel APU line of processors, AMD is getting a direct boost to performance when you clock up your DDR3 memory speed. My excitement comes from soon getting my hands on the next generation of AMD processors. The AMD A10-5800K is supposed to have higher graphics core speeds and the improved Bulldozer architecture on the same cpu chip. :>
