| Nevar, thanks for mentioning it, I see now that you have the newer version with better timings. The older version of this kit only did 9-10-9-28 1t at 1866 and only on quad channel set-up, going cas 10 on dual channel set-ups if i remember correctly. The new version is def improved and you should be able to see close to if not over 2000mhz with some tweaking and more relaxed timings, as with the Corsair kit. I don't know what i'm doing wrong with hosting pictures... | |

| That's weird. Think I should try to aim for a higher mhz on the RAM? I felt 1866 was a good number .. if not, what is? And just an attempt at hosting a completely random photo. (It's the middle option) | |

| Most ppl say that anything over 1600 with todays platforms has a negligible increase in performance. ddr = around 400mhz, ddr2 = 667-1343mhz, ddr3 = 1066-3000mhz. Well for the most part, there is some thruth to that but... When I built this pc X-MAS 2007-2008 I chose to run some 1066mhz sticks because they game me more headroom and tweaking possibilities for my overclocking but I was also running ddr3 speeds with tighter timings 5-5-5-15@1066. I am glad I chose 1066 now just as I am glad I chose a 4 core cpu when everyone was telling me (games only use 2 cores)...lol >>>Now all the new games use AT LEAST 4 cores, some can use 8... I have a test which I tried to run as scientifically correct as possible in which I used a Far Cry 2 benchmark to determine what effects memory speeds and timings have on games.
Of coarse some games are more memory hungry than others but what I found was that FC2 loves speed more than tight timings. But of coarse both are important. As soon as I find my records I will post them here. I think you will find the results are self-explanatory for that particular game.

| When I want to post a pic I choose "Host an image" then I choose browse, choose one and hit upload, then host it, then save. But nothing happens. Am I doing this correctly? Seems like I am.
