Which one of the two would offer better overall performance given for a 2GB (2x1GB) dual channel memory kit:
#1
ddr400 (pc3200)
cl: 2
timing: 2-3-2-5
Such as a OCZ platinum model.
#2
ddr500 (pc400)
cl: 3
timing 3-4-3-8
Such as a mushkin xp model.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I do understand that the pc500 will run hotter and require better cooling. But which of the two will perform better in relevance to ddr500 having a higher CL, but also having a faster speed rating? Or better said, what is more important regaurding performance: lower cas latency, or faster speed rating?
Or, is there actually an even better solution somewhere in between? Such as ddr433 or ddr466.
