I've looked into this, but not found my answer (including reading the RAM thread on CF).
I want 4GB of DDR2 RAM, preferably around $100. I've narrowed it down to CORSAIR XMS2 or G.SKILL. The Corsair is only 800MHz but the timings are 4-4-4-12, while the G.Skill is 1000MHz and the timings are 5-5-5-15.
What's better here? (What would be faster). The G.Skill is obviously faster...but it also has a higher latency...so does it cancel out or something?
I've always wondered about this, so hopefully someone can finally clear it up.
