PC-5400 or PC-4200

Shay Ken · Jun 5, 2006

Hello again,

Which one of these would be best?

DDR2 PC-5400 4-4-4-12

or
DDR2 PC-4200 3-3-3-8
http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16820141202

both have lifetime warranty and will primarily used for gaming, I will also try some overclocking some time.

Edit: This RAM would come in a AM2 Setup, MSI K9N SLI Platinum, 7900GT, and Athlon 64 3200+ "Orleans"

TIA

just one 1gb stick? you'd be better of with two sticks for dual channel you know

but which one would you recommend?

cool, but any explanation, since I'm not a real uber pr0 or something, a small explanation would be cool

thanks for the info already given

overall latency will most likely be lower at ddr2-667, 4-4-4 than it will at ddr2-533, 3-3-3.. thus slightly better performance
