Ok, I searched this forum for my question and found pretty much nothing...
I feel pretty confident asking you guys this question with the hope there is an answer. Which memory scenario below is faster?
1. 12800 - DDR3-1600MHz - ECC - RDIMM
2. 10600 - DDR3-1333MHz - ECC - UDIMM
To my knowledge, number 1. is faster, RDIMM is also automatically ECC.
But what I've read is RDIMM is slower than UDIMM, the nature of the reading/writing process.
Is the scenario above a wash...?
The price difference is HUGE between the two. I need ECC, well I should say I prefer ECC while running calculations. Comparing UDIMM ECC vs UDIMM non-ECC, that cost difference is not very large when the bandwidth/speed numbers are similar.
TIA!
