    So Kingston ha e rebranded their so-dimms into the impact line:
    HyperX Impact SO-DIMM Memory

    Speeds up the 2133Mhz at the moment, anxious to see if the advertised 2666Mhz is possible...

    Even if the sodimms could, the memory controller is unlikely to be able to handle 2666 at the moment.

    Very true but I'm looking forward to see this "auto- overclocking" thing. I'd like to see what the ram "chooses" for processors.

    Oh man, and I just bought some Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz too. Would have preferred this. Can't get the Corsair Vengeance to do 2400MHz even. :(

    But what does "P R SKU only mean"?

    It's a crapshoot with the Corsair Vengeance. Some will overclock well, otherwise won't even budge a bit on the timings. I bought 4 kits and only 1 would do 2400.

    Horrible! And I have to live with 1600MHz RAM! There is no justice in this world! ;)

    First world problems there. ;)

    I'm assuming 2666MHz is coming later down the pipeline with maybe when Skylake laptops come out.

    I would have to say perfectly likely with DDR4. Hopefully 2133 will be the new 1600.

    I wish I could run 2133 ram. When I ran 2133 on integrated my graphics have tons of flickering bugs and glitches, only worked correctly when the dedicated gpus were enabled, which sucks because I usd integrated often when at work or school
