First, I apologize if I am asking questions already answered but the search is unusable and scrolling through pages of topics is also pointless.

Secondly, I have some questions about RAM that I am positive can be answered.

1) Are Quad channel kits "worth" it?

2) What is the difference between low voltage RAM and normal i.e. 1.35 vs 1.5 aside from voltage that is. Does it affect performance? CAS Latency is the same, as are the timings.

Thanks for answering

Nope.

Mixed experiences, I've had 1.35v kits that could barely overclock and some 1.5v that did very well. There is a difference but not very significant.
