gankutsuou Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi all, i hope my question wasn't double post, and not in the wrong room. im planning to upgrade my old rig, i already purchase abit IP-35 and now im goin to purchase DDR2 within a couple of days. i know this might be sound like a same question about CAS latency (as i have read a sticky thread by RAM guy), and i do get the picture, but in my case now, is about price performance ratio. Because in my country, the price different between those 2 is around $20 (for C4). Thus, i would like to know, is it really worth to buy corsair twin2x2048-6400C4? or i should stick with corsair twin2x2048-6400C5 instead. Maybe if its possible, i would like to know hows the exact number of performance different between these 2, if i pair it up with abit IP-35 and C2D 4500. Also hows the different if i am using C2D 6550 instead of C2D 4500, as i notice the L2 different is twice times for C2D 6550. I hope some expert here could give me a better perspective about choosing between these 2 memory. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You are not going to find a huge difference other than more "snappyness" with 4-4-4-12. This is with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 at stock... http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee308/Dmtadman/IMG0019759.gif Note the Percentages. Those are the percentage of the memory controllers frequency that is actually functioning at the assigned speed spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gankutsuou Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 hey, thanks for ur respond, i think its quite clear now, means $20 for roughly 2-6% performance increase, well i think i'll stick with C5. again many thanks.
