Hi,
Im buying a new pc and now looking at:
Enermax Infiniti 650W SLI
Asus P5K Premium
Q6600 G0 @ 3.2Ghz (400 x 8)
I want to go with 800Mhz RAM to be 1:1 with the CPU, and i had settled with Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 (4-4-4-12), but i was wondering is there any benifit to going with lower latency ram or overclocking the ram, if so do i look for some expensive low latency stuff or get some faster sticks and clock them back then lower the timings to 3-3-3-9, or is the performance increase not worth mentioning???
As a side question please just correct me if im wrong but i havnt overclocked sinse the days of the AMD k6-II. When overclocking its better to match your ram with your fsb so for example 400Hhz FSB is a match for 800Mhz ddr2, 333Mhz FSB for 667 ddr2 etc etc and this will yeild better results than just going for the fastest possible ram with latency of say 5-5-5-15.
Sorry if all that was hard to follow but its late and i should have been asleep ages ago, just getting tooexcited about my new rig lol, thanks.
