1333 vs. 1600

[rocknrollz]

I was wondering if I would see any difference between 1333 RAM and 1600. (Yes, the mobo I want will support 1600). Is spending like 5 bucks extra really worth it?

depends on what chipset is it a sandybridge?

U will not be able to see any difference in real life!

Only some benchmarks will show small difference.

For the $5 get 1600MHz. Does it have the XMP profile?

 

[h3sham]

get the 1600, if its a sandy bridge you using it does it best work with 1600mhz ram...also pick the rams with the lowest latency (timings)

Sorry for the late response. Was busy.

I will be using SB. i3 to be exact. And eventually Ivy.

$5 you won't miss as it barely even buys a pizza or hamburger any more let alone a cold pop/soda. Going from 1333 to 1600 makes about 15% improvement for SB and Llano while for older builds it is around 5% but in the long run 1600 is the best ram for the money.

If you use onboard Video DDR3 1600 make a little bit different than DDR3 1333..

I just notice when one of my customer try to do some test in window 7...

If it use DDR3 1333 with A8-3870 the Video Score jump from 5.x to 6.x by just change the memory speed from DDR3 1333 to DDR3 1600...

By Window Experience Index Scale this is a big jump... Buy for sure if you use seperate video card then ... no much different..

Thanks for the answers. I thought 1600 was better, just wasn't sure.
