I am buying a 4gb ddr3 for new PC
I saw 2 ram sticks with a 5$ difference
Kingston Ram 4GB @1333 MHz
Timings are 9-9-9 -24 maybe
It requires 1.5v
And
Corsair XMS @1600 MHz
Timings are 11-11-11-30
It requires 1.6v
Which will be more faster
??
 
the calculation for this is CAS/Frequency

- the first one is 9/1333 = .00675 seconds, or 67.5 nano seconds. you want a smaller number here, less seconds is faster.

-The other is 11/1600 =.006875 or 68.75 nanoseconds.

some other things to mention here is AVOID RAM at 1.6V, it means it needs more power, essentially an "overclock" to reach those advertised speeds. Any decent new ram should be able to do 1600 Mhz CAS 9, yet alone 11, at 1.5V.

Kingston RAM is excellent, i would go with that. Corsair makes good RAM too, but that stick is not one of them.

Should I buy 1600mhz
I'll be gaming on haswell i5 with HD graphics 4600 for 3-4 month from now
What after I get a GPu??
Will the 1600 MHz ram still provide any better fps in games
