1066 over 800?

Ging3r · 25 Feb 2009 at 22:29

Seen the Kingston 1066 RAM on today, and am so tempted at that price!!

Atm iv got 2x2Gb Geil Evo One 800Mhz .
Im running it on a Asus Rampage Formula.

You think the upgrade is worth it?

sorry to hijack, but i was considering a simular upgrade.

can i ask where exactly the benefits of having higher speed memory would be seen? do pages load quicker etc, or?

sorry for the silly question.

Is it only worth getting if you overclock?

Depends on what speed you run your board & CPU at.

The Giel should clock to the same as the Kingstone, I would not go near to Kingston again customer service is CR*P imho

The Geil is good stuff mine ran at 1066 5,5,5,15 till I burned my motherboard
