I'm not a hardware genius as evidenced by my question.
I'm looking a several machines that very in their build. Both use the QX6700 quad chip. One build is water cooled and is stable in the 3.6Ghz range but the memory is 667Mhz but pushed to 750Mhz. The other build is air cooled and is stable at just over 3.1Ghz but the memory is ~1000Mhz.
My understanding that the memory speed is more important for gamers and bench markers but in the real world such as business applications it wouldn't manifest a noticeable difference between say 750 and 1000. The trading application I'm using it in requires a fast processor and fairly large draw on memory. It is 2D so graphics aren't heavy. In reading other threads it seems speed is king but how this equates with RAM speed I don't know or if I should even be concerned about the 750 versus 1000 difference.
So my question is which of these builds would be more appropriate for my trading application assuming all other things being equal in the system?
Thank you.
