Looking to buy some RAM but I am on a tight budget. Cheapest things I can find in stock at the moment is:
Corsair Value RAM at 1333 MHZ at CL9:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-233-192&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29#scrollFullInfo
Or Patriot 1600 MHZ at CL11 (I can buy it for $10 less):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-220-570&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29#scrollFullInfo
My question is what is more important, having a higher MHZ but a lower CL, or having a higher CL but lower MHZ?
