    As I was one of the ones who managed to get my R1 exchanged for an R2 i was wondering why the 1333 ram was not offered on the R2 with the i5 chip.
    (dont hate I have a i7 620m on order just wont have it for a few weeks)

    I can always try it out I just have 8 gigs of 1333 from my R1 i purchased that I was really hoping to throw in. Any cause for concern? Should I just wait till I put in my 620? I can't see there being an issue but this is far from my area of expertise I know nothing about these new chips.

    Any CPU under 720qm doesn't support 1333mhz ram. They only support 800/1066mhz
