Hey guys, ok, i don't know if any of you guys saw the best buy sales ad for this week, but they have the following ram in it:
Manufacturer: Kingston
Speed: DDR500(PC4000)
Type: 184 Pin DDR SDRAM
Error Checking: Non-ECC
Registered/Unbuffered: Unbuffered
Cas Latency: 3-4-4-8-1T
Support Voltage: 2.6V
Bandwidth: 4.0GB/s
Organization: two 64M x 64 -Bit
Warranty: Lifetime
for $119 a stick.
Meanwhile, I bought my Corsair ram for about $119 a stick also, which is:
Manufacturer: Corsair
Speed: DDR400(PC3200)
Type: 184 Pin DDR SDRAM
Error Checking: Non-ECC
Registered/Unbuffered: Unbuffered
Cas Latency: 2-3-2-6
Support Voltage: 2.6V
Bandwidth: 3.2GB/s
Organization: 64M x 64 -Bit
Special Features: with Platinum-Silver Heat Spreader
Warranty: Lifetime
Since both are the same price...which one will perform better, and most importantly, allow me to overclock better with a 1:1 ratio? I noticed the latency's are higher on the Kingston, so thats where i'm getting thrown off. Which will perform better, should I sell my Corsair and snatch up this kingston ram?
