Hello, everyone.
When it comes to RAM, I'm mostly in the dark. All these things about timings, and how they can be more important than clock speeds, and changing voltages and all that. Basically, I'm selecting components for a new PC to build from scratch, and I'm wondering how necessary it is to buy RAM with high clock speeds.
I'm currently looking at purchasing one of the following:
OCZ 800Mhz @ £144 for a 2x1GB pair, Crucial 667Mhz @ £125 for a 2x1GB pair, Kingston 533Mhz @ £94 for a 2x1GB pair. I'd like to know if it's worth going for the expensive 800Mhz RAM, in terms of performance, or going for the cheaper 533Mhz. Would I see a big difference? I'm building a machine for playing games, by the way.
Oh, if anyone knows of any better suggestions than what I listed above, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Fraser.
