    I can only find 1600MHz, but I'm sure I saw 1866 or more for a laptop somewhere.

    Also a bonus question, is there any predictions when higher end laptops will have DDR4 RAM?

    Also don't ignore my question just to say that the difference is negligible please. I already know.

    But those are 4GB cards (2 x 4GB). I'm not much into overclocking either. But thanks though. :)

    Bonus question:

    DDR4 will be announced in late 2014, early 2015 and be available for purchase with Skymont based platforms (notebooks) within a few months (most likely: 2 Q's).

    (What do I get if I'm right???). :) :) :)

    Oh didn't realize you meant 8GB modules not 8GB total.
