Looking at some 4GB dual channel ddr3 kits for my parent's HTPC custom build.
Issue I have is I don't know all that much about ram timings and frequencies etc.
From my Google search I gather that you want the "timing" to be lower* and that the numbers DDR3-xxxx is the maximum frequency that the ram can operate.** The PC-yyyy indicates transfer speed in MB/s.
Okay, Actual question time.
Gskill has a few 4GB kits in the range of $26-$32, I figured I ought to get the best out of them, even if it won't make much difference.
Common specs include
DDR3-1333 7-7-7-21
DDR3-1333 8-8-8-24
DDR3-1333 7-7-7-21
DDR3-1333 9-9-9-24
DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24
Which of these would overall be "the best'
From my limited knowledge it would either be the DDR3-1333 @ 7-7-7-21 or the DDR3-1600 @ 9-9-9-24 but I don’t really know.
Does anyone know?
Telling me that I'm completely wrong and providing ether a link for reading or explanation as to why I am wrong is also an expectable answer.
* I.E. 7-7-7-21 is better than 9-9-9-24
** not the actual operating frequency which is usually, by default, half of the maximum.
