To all I ask. How much difference does the speed of ram make, ie ddr667 versus ddr800. also value ram versus performance ram ? I currently run Vista Business 64 bit with 4 gigs of value ddr667 and I am considering upgrading to ddr800 (main reason, It is frickin cheap right now!).. I also don't really understand the different timings of the modules and which is best? How about the question of who is better, Mushkin,Corsair,Gskill,Ocz,Crucial and Kingston .. It is enough to make ones head explode! I do some gaming on this and I know that memory is a large part. I look forward to the discussions this generates (hopefully!)
I am also going to be upgrading my processor to a quad core Q6600 next week so I would like to order the ram (if necessary) at the same time.One last thing my board suppoprts both ecc and non ecc up to 8gigs but only as fast as ddr800.
