Hi there,
I'm going to buy new parts around christmas.. I'm sure about almost all my parts.. but I'm not sure yet about the memory I have to buy.
The thing I'm certain of is that I will buy Corsair memory since it's the fastest memory around... but I have difficulty choosing between 2 models. These are the 2 models:
1GB x 2 (2GB) PC6400 DDR2 CL4 (Corsair XMS2, TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO)
price: 350 euro's ($444 USD)
or
1GB x 2 (2GB) PC6400 DDR2 CL5 (Corsair XMS2, TWIN2X2048-6400C4)
Price: 298 euro's ($379 USD)
My question is... is the speed-difference worth the 50 euro's ($63 USD) extra? I'm not sure if the CL4 (pro) is so much faster then de CL5 edition...
The configuration it is for:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (S775, 2x2.4GHz, 4MB, 1066MHz FSB)
MB: Asus P5W DH Deluxe (S775, Chipset: Intel 975X)
Video: ASUS PCIe 512Mb EAX1950XTX/HTVDP (Ati Radeon X1950XTX)
I hope someone can give me advice on this...
Thanx!
