What makes it faster? Lower latency or higher bus speed?
I need some help.
I am building a system with an Asus P4PE mobo (845PE Chipset, 533MHz FSB), to be upgraded to a P4C800 (875P Chipset, 800 MHz FSB, Dual-Channel DDR400 Memory). Both have flexible CPU Core Voltage Adjustments in 0.025V increments over defaults, adjustable FSB/DDR ratio, fixed AGP/PCI freqencies, frequency selection at 1MHz increments (from 100MHz up to 200MHz on the P4PE and up to 400MHz on the P4C800). I will be starting with a 2.4GHz 533FSB and eventually upgrade to a 3.0GHz 800FSB. My objective is to overclock to the highest operating/user experienced speed I can. I am totally new to overclocking so I do not know exactly how lower latency compensates for higher bus speeds when it comes to the final user experienced speed. Thats where I need some help. Right now I am shopping for a couple of 512MB RAM modules (for a 1GB board). I came down to a few options from Corsair XMS line: 1. CMX512-2700LL: 333MHz 512MB (64Mx64) and CAS Latency of 2-2-2-5-T1 2. CMX512-3200LL: 400MHz 512MB (64Mx64) and CAS Latency of 2-3-2-6-T1 3. CMX512-3500C2: 434MHz 512MB (64Mx64) and CAS Latency of 2-3-3-7-T1 4. CMX512-4000: 500MHz 512MB (64Mx64) and CAS Latency of 3-4-4-8 5. Other? Having in mind that I plan to upgrade to the P4C800, which of the above is likely to let me best overclock? Why? I really appreciate any help. Thanks, Daniel |
