XPS 8940, memory upgrade question

Question

Hi,

I have a 8940 with 1 x 16gb DDR4 2933mhz RAM.

I want to buy a second 1 x 16gb RAM, when using my service tag in the Dell memory selector I get 3000mhz RAM.

Is that OK, I assume they just rounded up the mhz. Am I right ?

Thanks for the help.

The computer is shipped with 3200 MHz memory. However, (with Intel Core i3/i5 processors, it is limited to 2666 MHz.) With Intel Core i7/i9 processors, it is limited to 2933 MHz.

So if I understand well 2933 is the working set speed and 3200 is the theoretical maximum speed.
