At first glance, seeing a string of numbers like "34-42-42-96" on RAM packaging might be puzzling — but they carry important technical meaning. They refer to memory timings, with the first indicating ...

Let's take PC2700 DDR RAM as an example. Crucial has RAM running at CAS latencies of 2.5. Corsair has modules running at 2.0. If you do not plan to overclock, will you see a difference in performance?

The last system I went out and built for myself was a Dual P3 1GHz machine that wasn't overclocked. I have been trying to keep up with the newer technologies in cpu and memory, but I am a little ...

In brief: DDR5 memory chips generally have higher latency than DDR4, but this usually doesn't pose a problem under normal usage. However, MSI has released a firmware update to address a mild latency ...

Questions about RAM speed, installation The Power Mac G5 uses DDR 400 memory. However, buyers may be confused by which modules to buy, as different types use different CAS latency rates. The lower the ...

It looks like G.Skill has cracked the code to one of the biggest complaints with DDR5 memory, that being propensity for high CAS latencies. There have been efforts to release lower latency kits, some ...
