My laptop is an Acer V3-551-8887 using the A8-4500m with integrated graphics. I'm running windows 7 64-bit. According to this Acer support page, the CPU is natively compatible with 1600mhz RAM (unless I'm misinterpreting it). I can't find anything on the mother board. I use this computer for gaming (first-person shooters).
The first two are CL11 and 1.35v, and the last one is CL9 and 1.5v. They're all 1600MHz.
Questions: Will my computer benefit from 1600mhz RAM? The first two will produce less heat heat than the third one. Will this make up the performance difference between CL9 and CL11? I don''t know anything about overclocking, but could I overclock the Samsung RAM to CL9?

My opinion is that it doesn't really matter. The differences that you would have are so minute that you wouldn't notice. From what i have read these new apu's benefit from higher frequencies anyway
oh and with a laptop you're not likely going to be able to overclock much, if not at all
