Help with RAM...

Elite · 08-20-2005, 02:58 PM

I'm looking to buy RAM for my new pc and i came across the following:
Corsair 1024MB (2x512) TWINX-3200XL 400MHZ DDR RAM, XLow Latency
Can anyone explain what XLow Latency means?

btw is this RAM any good?

i dont know wat Xlow latency is but i know that corsair is a good name.

i think it stays for xtreme low latency.
and as far as i know, is latency the time it needs to send the data to the mainboard.
but im not entirely shure about that

yea, latency can also be referred to as "lag" and lag is bad... Low latency is good!

Corsair is probably the best or close to the best RAM you can get. Good find my friend.

it depends on how much you want to spend. If you want really really good stuff go with some top of the line OCZ.
