Hrm, who wants to explain RAM latency to me? I don't know what the numbers mean.

lol

Dragon, you're so fucking helpful I don't know what any of us would do without you. Just cos I love you so much, I want you to sign up here and never have to work again, my gift to you. Also, I'd like to to eat a large handful of these, they're good, I promise.

I will probably be playing at like 1280x1024 or maybe even 1600x1200 but I wont be like nonononono im only getting 50fps at these settings im not 1337 h4x0R

so u may be getting a CRT?

oh btw take a look at Opteron 144s for socket 939, hecka cheap, can OC higher

I really dont know if I even care to OC anymore... and yes I will be getting a CRT. I want to be able to play at 1600x1200 at most and an LCD that can do that would be alot more then I want to spend.

I may OC, but I doubt it... not unless I learn 100% more about it from now until feburary 06.

... u just.. do it. LOL, its easy o-o

thus ends Overclocking 101

Well I mean do I OC my ram and CPU. Just CPU, or video card.

Thanks for the explanation, dickheads.


True, I may be able to "google" it, but a more direct answer to what the numbers mean and how they affect performance would help.

Well they are latencys, and as any online gamer knows that the lower the latency the better. I acutally myself have no idea about what exactly the numbers mean, but I do know that lower is better.

have a look at this also

All of it is informative, but parts 9 and some of the FAQ are directly what your after.

of course you OC the RAM with the CPU, or why get low latency PC3200? ur not gonna OC?? O_O

all Athlon 64 cpus are multiplier locked for any number above its stock, so if its stock 11, u cant do 12, but u can do 10.. therefore the only option is to do FSB OCing

Well I wont be getting this compy on the projected time frame. My dad presented me with the option of takeing over the payments on his Chevy S-10 Blazer and I jumped on it. Its got under 100k miles (88 or something) and its 4WD. There are only six 150$ payments left to be made and I just cant pass the deal up. So there goes 900$ sooner then expected, but worth it... so what if I have to wait another month to get my rig.

"My dad presented me with the option of takeing over the payments on his Chevy S-10 Blazer and I jumped on it."

he did what? T_T

what im getting from that is, you're paying for his car.

Im finishing paying for his car, at which point it will be MY car.

Im getting a chevy blazer that he payed 4100$ on and then ill be paying 900$ on and it will be MINE.
