I’ve seen shit like gaming chairs, headsets, and even gaming PCs turning out to be absolute horseshit compared to even shit used in offices.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this. My theory is that the focus on gaming was so extreme the others that actually IMPROVE gaming like less bottlenecks get fucked over.

    Its not Windows capping RAM frequency. One of your RAM sticks is 1333 and the other, despite being higher frequencies, all have to operate at 1333. The lowest RAM frequency stick determines the RAM frequency of all sticks. I had a preinstalled 2133 MHz in my ThinkPad, and I checked beforehand and bought a 2133 stick. Even with XP on Pentium 4, 1600 MHz sticks were used.

      Aaah, you’re right. When I bought the sticks they said 2666mHz on the website, but this prompted me to look it up and I confirmed DDR4 ram reads data twice, so it technically runs at 1333mHz but does double the calculations per second.
