What's more stable 2000 mhz or 1600 mhz ram?
I'm building a 3d render workstation for a friend. It's a water-cooled i7 930 poot with a Quadro card. Now I know proper workstations use mobos with two xeon cpus and registered ram. But this is what he wanted. I plan to OC the bugger a bit but don't intend to sacrifice stability for speed. So naturally I'll divide the ram to get it as close as poss to a 1:1 ratio with the fsb and lower the cas latency (I won't push that too hard as to risk too much instability) before raising the fsb (again, not going overboard). The mobo is a Asus P6T.
However, I am unsure as to which ram would be best for the job though I suspect 2000 mhz is the one to go for.
Any thoughts and expertise would be most welcome. Thanks.
