Cheapest VS Most Expensive RAM
Has anyone had the benefit of buying the most expensive memory and the cheapest and switching them out and noticing a difference?
I bought the cheapest memory I could cuz I spent all the money on other components, and I'm just wondering if it's gunna end up bottlenecking the system. |

Are you planning on overclocking?
I believe this is one place where the difference between cheaper and spendier ram really shows.

If you put in the best ram for you PC it might perform a little better than if you put the worst in. But like epidemik said its mainly for over clocking. Or at least thats what I think.
