Hey, I have a Asus P5w DH Deluxe Motherboard, and I only have 2gb...so I'm looking at a good deal for a memory kit... but the thing Is.. I don't know that much about memory.
I was looking at these two deals...
One was 2x2gb 800MHZ with CL 5-6-6-15 for $159.00
There was also 2 different deals for a 2x1gb Kit with 4-4-4-12 for about $60.00
I don't know much about latency or how it works (the 4-4-4-12 and 5-6-6-15, etc.), so could someone help me out with this? I'ld like to get the 4gb kit, so later on I could get another 4gb, making it 8gb total.....but I don't know if that latency is good.
I'm not overclocking right now, but with my setup, I'm pretty sure I can.
Here's my system specs:
GameXtream 700W PowerSupply
Asus P5w DH Deluxe Mobo
Core2Duo E6600 Processor
Patriot (2x1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) memory
Custom Water-Cooling Setup
Here's the links to the memory deals.
Patriot Extreme DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-12
Crucial DDR2 PC2-6400 4-4-4-12
OCZ Vista Upgrade Ed: 2x2GB 800MHz 5-6-6-15
ps: I'm running 667MHZ memory right now, and I don't know if I'm supposed to mix 800 with 667, or if it'd be better off just upgrading it all.
