Which is faster ?

For a P4 3.4 presler 4meg cache which is faster do you think :

1. 2x1gig DDR2 PC4200 533mhz 4,4,4,12

2. 2x1gig DDR2 PC5300 667mhz 5,5,5,15

Overclocking wont enter into it as the system I am using has no options in the bios for ANY overclocking. I am wondering would the lower latency on the slower ram make up for lower speed.

Probably both near enough the same

Timings don't matter so much on Intel systems, I think :confused:

Just get one to match the FSB the CPU supports. Probably 533mhz should run 1:1 - I think the 667mhz is for overclocking (on a budget).
