    I have an M17x with ddr3, speed 1333mhz installed.

    Was looking to lower cas latency times, and was wondering if the new M17x will support this kingston memory i found?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104103

    Or is the memory that came stock (1333mhz) with cas 9 actually better overall?

    thanks
