Memory latency question

[The_man27]

Hi,

My friend is trying to decide between 2 different memory packages.

this one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-288&depa=0

and this one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-290&depa=0

Now would the second one perform much worse than the first one, since it uses a tRP latency of 3? Thanks

BTW, he is building a dually xeon setup

It wouldnt perform particularly worse, perhaps in the region of a few percent slower.

the 2-2-2 ram is BH-6, and should oc like a mother.
the level one should be CH-5 and doesn't oc quite as well. However, I have a gig of the CH-5 and it will run stable at DDR433 with 11-2-3-2
If you can afford it, go with the special 2-2-2
