Brand name difference?

[Biology]

what's the difference between brand names?

I mean between g.skills ripjaws and corsair and crucial ballistix etc? I mean they are same modules for examples 2x8 1866. Is there actually a difference in performance or just the name ? What makes one better than the other?

Quality and performance yes, 1866 is faster than 1600. Make sure you keep your eye on the CAS, the lower it is the better.

I highly recommend G.skill rams

not much, just branding and general quality. also check the cas latency on these, the lower the better.

I can't really tell a difference between them in everyday use. They're all awesome as far as I know. Just get the one that's the cheapest or looks the best to you.

Not always, as you get to higher and higher speed, latency has less of an effect.

 

And there isn't a huge difference in speed at the same latency ex/ 1600Mhz Cas 9 and 1866 Mhz Cas 9

What's cheap and good brand

What's cheap and good brand

 Kingston ValueRAM. Will work but doesn't look that good. Most of RAMs use same chips. Only real difference is how the modules look. Speed difference, as said, is minimal.
