Capacity? Frequency? Timings? Obviously it has to do with the combination of all these also...but what is the order in which one should examine RAM?
I've read quite some reviews of many Brands and RAM models..and topics about timings, frequency and capacity...but i don't have that much in-depth knowledge to distinguish the characteristics on an importance basis. I've seen a lot of people saying that "most CPU's only take advantage of a maximum of 1600 MHz from RAM..." , how true is that? Also i've seen debate on wether one should prefer tighter timings over higher frequency and via versa...i understand (and also read about) the fact that it works good with either combination (of lower timings with lower frequency + higher timings with faster frequency).
P.S. My rig's spec will be i5-2500K + ASUS P8P67 PRO (B3 revised version) by the way.
