    @ut1959 yes this has been and still is an ongoing thing that comes up repeatedly and all agree 2400mhz. I think Acer got a job lot of 2666 for a good price.

    I think that is perfect for your notebook, if you doubt you can check the specs of your memory at CPUZ

    2666mhz will work fine but although the Nitro 5 series ship with 2666mhz they underclock to 2400mhz, so 2400 is fine too. If you go to any of the memory checker sites such as Crucial you will find that most of the memory available for this model is 2400 because that's what in reality it operates at

    Thanks for the info!  Are you 100% that they'd be underclocked to 2400mhz? Buying 2666mhz would be a waste then...
