Question how are we suppose to know which ram to pick if we dont know the gains or benefits?

[pleaselinkto_helpfulsites]

what's the best site that has the most helpful thing for knowing what is currently the best value ram?

need a massive chart / graph of the best ram to see what's the currently the best value ram

• or something helpful

seems like speed/performance of RAM:

• is based on 'frequency and CAS' latency, dunno what that means

anyway, i need a massive chart / graph of the best ram to see what's the currently the best value ram

• or something that's helpful

best value is always gains : cost

best value = speed of ram and overall benefits of ram : overall price

---

because newer versions of ddr ram historically has apparently never worked with outdated versions of mobos

• we now are looking for the currently best value ram

these links dont seem to tell use about how any of the ram specs (aside from amount) helps youtube or note taking apps etc

You know, because youtube and "note taking" is just so stinky ram sensitive.

You should already be looking at a CPU and motherboard before deciding which ram is best for it.

what are the other helpful info of ram we should that hasnt been answered so far?

it seems like you're saying some of the info on https://www.quora.com/Which-RAM-should-I-get-with-a-Ryzen-3-2200G-which-can-be-overclocked

is inaccurate, is that the case?

In isolation, that is useless.

Bringing this to the real world...
Right now, you're looking at buying a vehicle, and trying to decide on the best tires.
The thing you've not specified is...is this for a Prius, minivan, Jeep, F-150, 370Z, or a motorcycle?

After looking at your previous posts it seems as though you are either an expert troll, or truly need quite a bit of knowledge.

Na, not an expert troll. Several of us were discussing that early on.
Right now, just playing along...

how do the companies know what is the standard ram?

is there a chart list graph somewhere that shows the standard?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM

http://www.softnology.biz/pdf/JESD79-4_DDR4_SDRAM.pdf

JEDEC announces microelectronics standards including DDR SDRAM.

Any profile or settings outside of this becomes it's own and typically stored as XMP Profiles.

eg. DDR4-3200 is CL20, 22, 24 standard, so the CL14, CL15, CL16 kits enthusiasts see for sale are much more performance oriented and thus fall into the XMP Profile. This is part of the reason why RAM does not automatically boot up at DDR4-3200. Another reason is the CPU may not support it, so most memory kits are designed to boot at the lowest value DDR4-2133 CL15 to have the widest range of compatibility to at least boot up a system. Then as far as reaching a higher DRAM Frequency, it depends on the motherboard maximum capability and luck of the draw for the CPU quality you receive in hand. Motherboard's tested capabilities are shown in the G.Skill QVL, so for guaranteed results, make sure to follow the G.Skill QVL. For CPU, typically models ending with X and such enthusiasts models will have better clocking abilities, so one of those would be best for builders looking for best shot of max performance.

For YouTube and web browsing, main concern is having sufficient capacity. Standard bandwidth can be plenty fast so even a higher frequency memory kit may not seem like a major improvement. However for tasks that require large data processing, such as video editing, 3D rendering, mathematical computations, etc. maximum bandwidth can significantly improve overall time so high frequency is extremely beneficial for both Intel and AMD systems.

nobody else replied with a helpful comment besides this 1 person?

there's so many pointless unhelpful comments, why not let the 1 person that knows a good answer help instead?

 

[pleaselinkto_helpfulsites]

high frequency is extremely beneficial

what's a good site/source that says this would help youtube?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Multiple people have linked articles that explain what you are originally asking, yet you refuse to read them and say nobody has helped you.

If you really cared to get an explanation, you would read articles, or even google it yourself.

what's a good site/source that says this would help youtube?

Very few people benchmark this as it is not easy to benchmark the smoothness of navigating a website. There will be little difference between fast and slow ram for day to day tasks.

USAFRet has linked valuable articles explaining how it helps other scenarios.

What has your research discovered?

Wow... really? You abandon your own thread and leave everyone to make wild assumptions about your intent and you come back with a snide comment like that?


Good luck buddy, do your own stinkin' research. I've been reading PC hardware articles/ reviews every day for the past 10+ years and I'm sure many others posting here are in the same boat. I enjoy helping others with PC questions, but you're straight ungrateful. Out.

This thread has run its course. OP, if you have specific questions about specific parts or a specific problem, I'd be very happy to see you open up a thread in which people can actually help you build your computer. Your prolonging of a strange metaphysical debate on the meaning of RAM is just eating up the time of our moderators and posters.
