I'm building a workstation to run ANSYS and CATIA, professional CPU and memory intensive applications (inly on a 16-proc Itanium does ANSYS reach it's software limits). So, I considering buying HyperX DDR400 memory (Athlon X2 is the processor). But mow much real world performance difference is there between say kingston Value RAm and HyperX? Here are the timings:
Valueram 1GB module: 3-3-3-7-2
HyperX 1GB module: 2.5-3-3-7-1
if you don't know how ANSYS responds to memory bandwidth, then I can tell you that it is somewhat like Video-editing software WRT the computer hardware - processor and memory intensive. ANSYS recommended specs are:
at least 2GB of RAM
10k rpm raid-0 HDD setup for page file.
So, what are the general gains from tightly-timed RAM vs. normal RAM in Video-editing, media format conversion, etc...........?
