DDR3-1333 vs. DDR3-16000

Sat Feb 5 04:53:19 UTC 2011

Hi all,

I have basic overclocking question...

Most CPU specs say DDR3-1333 (i7 upto DDR3-1066), and most motherboard
specs say DDR3-1600 or higher.  What's the point of using DDR3-1600
memory when the CPU (memory controller inside) can only do DDR3-1333 ?

Common answer seems to be for better overclocking.  But, specs for both
2.8GHz and 3.2GHz CPUs say DDR3-1333.  So, I don't get it.
