Worth to upgrade Ram

[invisible.hippo]

Hi, I am looking for advice on changing my rma.Thank you

I would also like to know what the difference between the two crucial ram



Current Ram

Samsung, Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC)

there is no difference. dun waste ur money

what the difference between the two crucial RAM anyway?

 

[sHrike]

depends on what you are looking for. in terms of real life performance. ..there is no improvement or difference. so for the second time . dun waste ur money

The memory bus speed and ram latency.

Faster bus speed and very low latency usually will cost a bomb.

if you don't know that, u dont need to worry about which is better.
Just get the cheaper one and dont waste your money

which description represent the bus speed and latency

 

[bhtan83]

Really no point changing... 800 MHz is the bus speed. U won't see much improvement in real life performance.

What shrike is trying to tell you between the 667mhz vs 800mhz ram is that don't bother figuring out which is better.

Of course the 800mhz ram is theoretically better but in real life when you compare side by side the speed is probably just <sec. The cost to Performance increase is not worth it.

hope you understand now.

Only on desktops where "high performance" systems need to OC then high speed is required and even still that debatable.
