Lower latencies are a good thing, of course, but how much can they really improve system performance? Are exotic, low-latency DIMMs worth the price premium? Read on as we explore the effects of memory latency on Athlon 64 performance in synthetic memory benchmarks, games, and real-world applications.

I've been saying this for ages.. So many people blow money on low latency ram for twice the price. They dont even understand how it works most of the time. The point of loosening the timings is to gain an overclocking increase. With only a few mhz in fsb you can easily make up the small performance lost to timings. (fsb overclocking WILL make a significant difference in high res gaming). |
