question why not go for 1866 ram if they are the same price

question why not go for 1866 ram if they are the same price

why ask if you can find the same ram for the same price, i just got a premade pricelist i ahd and changed afew things

the speeds hardly make a difference you won't see any higher performance

okay thank for the info

though if you can get 1866mhz ram for the same price and the mobo supports it go for it

RAM memory increases are negligible increases in performance.

 

The only location where I read that they really helped was in archive extraction like winrar or 7zip.

 

There was also the whole, latency increases as speed increases. So any performance gains are minor, if there are any at all. In some scenarios it didn't help at all and showed worse performance due to the increased CAS latency.

 

You should google what your exact scenario is. The video I saw was I think from Linus and it compared 1333 and 2400 mhz ddr3 and some articles from anandtech.
