Hardware Low Latency DDR2 800MHz versus 1,066MHz

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/10/27/low-latency-ddr2-800mhz-versus-1066mhz/1

There is a common DDR2 question about which is better - low latency 800MHz or medium-high latency 1,066MHz? To answer it, we dropped in some performance-value G.Skill Pi Black memory in a P45 board to find out.

 

Been thinking of getting some new DDR2.

Sub £60 for 4GB cas 4 PC6400 is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.

 

I'm using 8GB G.skill 6400 C4 PI-B, it's really decent ram and dirt cheap, doesnt oc too good though, but thats to be expected as they are using the better clocking chips in the 1100 PI's and they want to sell those too.

 

I must say that is some really nice looking RAM, the performance aint bad either lol .

 

i have a M2N-E mobo with a 1.95V upper limit on RAM, and this looks like the perfect upgrade from my Corsair XMS2 5-5-5-15 that i have.

 

Interesting article, but I'm not too surprised by the results.

On a side note, I've never been able to grasp the concept of "lifetime warranty". Basically someone seems to guarantee you that a certain product works until it doesn't? It boggles the mind...

 

hahaha nice interpretation

it's "10 year" in Europe, although I suspect if you RMA a stick of DDR2 in 8 years you'll get something equivalent in value back again.
