I just spoke to a salesman online regarding my new PC purchase, he said that because the i7 has a 1066mhz FSB, the best ram would be triple chanel 1066mhz.
I have a budget high enough to be able to purchase corsair patriot ram with 1600mhz freq., but as he said, would this just make the i7 underperform?
Im guessing hes just saying that because he doesnt have the 1600mhz corsair or ocz ram i wanted...

Thanks
