Hi im doing a mini ITX build with a AMD Ryzen 3 3100  and was looking at  motherboards but was a little confuse Im thinking about getting the ASRock B550M-ITX/AC but was a little confused about the ram I was going to use my CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 but when I was looking at the the motherboard and it doesnt mention anything about  2666 ram and only mentions 2667 so I just wanted to know will the 2666 ram still work?

2666mhz and 2667mhz are the same. The reason for the discrepancy is rounding. 

2666MHz memory is actually 2666.6MHz and sometimes gets rounded up to 2667MHz. 

 

Moved to CPUs, motherboards, and memory.

Yes it will work, but I see no reason too get that as you are losing 10 - 15% of your possible performance with 2666 ram compared to 3200mhz ram.

yeah I know i have 2666 ram but getting 3200 ram for my sisters build but I gonna swap the 2666 from my build for the 3200

I would first check that you can find a 3100. They have been hard to find at their $99 msrp. If you can’t, I would either go for a 3600 or if that doesn’t fit your budget an i3 10100f/10105f (if they are the same price go for the 10105)
