PC3500 better than PC3200 for CL OCing?
Last response: in Memory
I know that memory bandwidth and memory latencey are two different things. So would using PC3500 rated for CL 2.5 be able to run at CL 2.0 better than PC3200 rated at the same CL 2.5? This assumes that the PC3500 is undeclocked to 400 MHz.
In other words does memory engineered to work at higher bandwidths also work better for lower latencies?

well basically it all depends on the quality of the ram in the first place. Lets say both pieces of ram were equal in quality and were designed to run at 2.5-3-3-6, and both were clocked at 400Mhz then theoretically the PC3500 would be able to manage slightly better timings because your running the frequency under the modules designed level.
This is intirely theoretical and may not actually happen in real world application. However it has been my experiance that most of the time you can infact manage hotter timings by underclocking ram.
