Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a new machine.
I'm going to get 16GB but I aven't decided yet at which speed.
Will I benefit from buying unlocked processor and 3000mhz memory or should I just save the money?
My main uses of the PC are daily usage (broswing the web, office etc), programming (python, java, c) and virtualization (one screen will be dedicated to linux VM).
Will I benefit from the extra speed or should I just get 2133 ram becuase more speed is useless?
Thanks!
 
Solution
Depends, I'd go the faster as you will be multitasking and using VM(s). Faster DRAM will show increases in performance in scenarios like this ;)
