When buying Ram, does speed really matter? How can I choose between 1330Mhz or 1600Mhz?

Don't use ddr3 ..better get a ddr4 ram compatible with ur board

 

[Tony Nichols]

Yeah, first question is what platform are you using. For some it matters a lot.

 

[Sean Condon]

Speed, no. Torque, yes.

 

[Cesar Ventura]

What happens when my current ram speed is at 1330mhz then I combine it with a 1600mhz???

 

[Tony Nichols]

If it all works it will all run at the slowest speed.

 

[Sean Condon]

Hard reality is the RAM will only work as fast as the slowest module. Aside from the speed, the timings should be taken into consideration... although in the last decade or so, timings seem to have become less and less relevant.

fuck that run 3800

 

[San D Lee]

It only matters when you run out

1333 is slow based on my ddr3 rig

 

[Jonnathon Clayton]

Go with a HEMI...

 

[Drew Leonard]

1333 and 1600 have been tested (think it was a linus vid but dont quote me) performance difference wasnt very much. They flagged about 5 fps or so boost for gaming

 

[Paul Allen]

Slow ram is slow
