Hmm I have two sets of unmatched sticks in my rig so these would make an ideal replacement... Kingston are a solid brand too, I remember their BH-5, it was among the best...

*ponders*
 
Id have gotten some of this but i only got 4Gb of Dominator PC8500 last month

Nice deal tho, i had some of the other kingston PC8500 stuff before the dominators and it was decent stuff despite it only having 6-6-6-18 timings
 
Okay, about to buy and I noticed that there are two Kingston 4GB packs.

The one discussed here and this one

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-038-KS

The one being discussed here is CL5 tested to 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V

the other is tested to 800 @ 4-4-4-12 at 1.95V.

So what are the advantages of this CL5 over the CL4.

My CPU is an E6750 running on an IP35 MoBo - haven't tried overclocking yet.

Let's say I don't overclock my CPU for now, if I went for the CL5 stuff does this mean I could pick one of the RAM ratios above 1.2 and run the RAM faster than 800 - and if I did would I see benefit outside benchmarks.

Alternatively, if I went for the CL5 stuff and ran it at 800 do you think I could run it at 4-4-4-12.

Sorry for the noob questions - just that I wasn't considering buying RAM until now and with the limited offer I have to make a quick decision.

Cheers,

Nigel

I'm not a massive RAM expert, but would definately go for the higher speed stuff. You will, from what I know, see considerably more difference with a high speed, CAS5 set than a lower speed CAS4 set. I would also expect the 8500 stuff to run fine at 6400 speeds and CAS4 (although obviously it can't be guaranteed!)
