Hi there,
I am looking at building a new system and am trying to choose between:
TWINX512-3200LL 512MB TwinX PC3200 Low Latency Dual Channel Kit (2 x 256MB)
or
2 x CMX256A-3500C2 256MB XMS PC3500 CAS 2 DDR w/ Heatspreader
For some strange reason they both work out to the same price (actually the 2 sticks of 3500 are $0.05 cheaper lol). I've searched around but can't find any information on what exactly makes the TwinX Low Latency good. Does Low Latency mean you can achieve faster timing settings at higher memory clocks? Would I be better off with the 3500? I am planning on getting either a Barton 2500+ or a P4C 2.4 in a few weeks (depends if the price comes down on the P4C800 mainboard) and running at 200+ FSB so I want good RAM. I like the idea that the TwinX are perfectly paired, but on the other hand the 3500 should handle higher speeds.
Any tips? Thanks and sorry if this has been discussed, I can't find it.
