I'm planning to purchase the new riMac 27" once user reviews are in and I can make up my mind about the CPU and GPU choices (Likely setup will by i7/395/512GB SSD/trackpad for a photography workflow).

I just checked my 2011 iMac and I have four 8gb 1333MHz DDR3 ram in it. I plan to sell the iMac locally for about $650 (going rate for my model on eBay). I just realized I could potentially swap out the memory from my 2011 iMac to the new one (and vice versa).

Questions:
1. Is there any real world difference in using 1867MHz vs 1333MHz RAM?
2. Will the 2011 iMac work with two 4GB 1867MHz RAM sticks taken from the 2015?

Thanks!
