Hello all,
I have 2x8GB 1866 cl9 memory (kingston hyperx savage). before I had 1600 cl9 memory.
The difference is that the 1866 is 9-10-11-27 , while the 1600 is 9-9-9-24.
the first number indicate the cas latency ,so they both are cl9. But what are the rest of the numbers and are they important as the cas latency?

I am a little dissapointed that I got low performance memory..maybe I should have invest a few more bucks to get 1866 9-9-9-27 or something? I just saw the cl9 and didn't look any further.

Thanks for the link. But I still didn't get if the other parameters are as important as the CAS latency. Low performance is maybe exaggeration but I meant that I could get something like 9-9-9 and have a peace of mind. sure 9-9-9 is better than 9-10-11
