Memory latency

[zerkotin]

my question is as follows...
i've built a new system with 2GB DDR2 800MHZ Dual Channel kit
the kit is 5-5-5-15
is there alot of difference for a system that runs at stock speed?


my system is:
E4300
PQI Turbo DDR2 2048MB 800MHz Dual Channel CL5-5-5-15 kit
Asus P5N-E SLI nForce 650i
WD 250GB 16MB 7200RPM SATA2
Antec SONATA II 450W
BFG Geforce 8800GTS OC2 320MB DDR3
Tuniq Tower 120mm

No.

You could benchmark and determine there is a difference, but it's in the realm of statistical insignificance and certainly not perceptable (4-4-4-12 being slightly faster).

Unnoticeable is the very important description. Sure, you'll get maybe a fraction of a point or more on a synthetic benchmark but will you notice it in real life? Ripping, encoding, gaming? Nope.
