joshuanathan123 · Apr 15, 2014

Hi i've been looking at these two and noticed cas 9 is cheaper then 10 why is that so?

Based on what i can see of partpicker cmd32gx3m4a1866c9 is cheaper then c10 by £30 but i dont get why?

Marketing. That's what they want to sell this week.

So i should change my order and get the c9 as its cheaper and better?

Better + cheaper = no brainer

I wouldn't normally bother with Dominator, though. Generally a waste of $$$.

If you really need 32GiB, I'd get these: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f314900cl10q32gbzl

Few need 32GiB RAM, though.

Hi The reason i chose it is its going in a PC built specifically for running matlab algos and just wanted to go as good as i could get.

I ordered two of these:

But i guess i should cancel and get this:

Dominator at the same quantity, timings, and clocks will perform the same as anything else. Only time it's different is when you're OCing it.

If you want tons of speed, I'd get this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmz32gx3m4a2133c10

Someone Somewhere :

I'm using a xeon processor limited to 1866 so thats why i selected this specific ram. Maybe i should go for something else then. ecc doesnt really bother me to much.

OK: DDR3-1866. CL9.

For 1866 might look at the GSkill Trident X model - 32 GB 1866 and at a CL of 8 - Great sticks!
