Hey guys,
I keep asking tons of questions all over the forums, most of the probably pretty n00bish. I'm sorry. But this place is a great resource, I'm used to TH, been there for years, but Im a bit more comfortable here so please forgive me for all the inquiries.
Here's the question. How much does timing really affect gaming performance? And the same for speed, and dual channel. I'm getting ready to order a new build, I just picked out some decent DDR3 and thought "good enough". However, I'd like to know what affect on performance a faster memory or different configuration might have, and there dont seem to be a ton of articles on this stuff. Are we talking a 1-2 fps difference (which is what Ive heard elsewhere) or can getting it all right really significantly increase a PCs performance?
Thanks!
