Low cas latency vs high speed

[Stoic Muffins]

I am looking into buying new ram and was wondering if it would be better to get ram that was ddr3 cas 7 running at 1600 or ddr3 cas 11 running at 2400, I am looking to both game and run everyday programs, which would be faster and more stable in the long run. Is 2400 fast enough or should i move up to 2800? the cas gets up to 16 with high speeds though so is it worth it? I am also curious as to whether ddr4 is really faster than ddr3?

Thank you

If you have the Samsung 840 Pro you have nothing to worry about as it still uses the 2-bit MLC NAND Flash which has acceptable P/E endurance. The Samsung 840 (non pro) and Samsung 840 EVO use the 3-bit MLC (also called TLC) which is several times less robust.

Yes, all my Samsung's are 840 Pro's. Paid a premium for some of them, but didn't mind. I plan on snapping up several more of the 256's.

The 850 Pros are coming out now, so there may be some good deals coming on the 840 Pro as resellers clear inventory for the new version. The new Samsung 850 Pro 256GB are around $200 and use Sansung's new 32 Layer 3D V-NAND.

If my motherboard says "DDR3 3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/1600/1333" under the specifications will it be able to run 2400 and 2133

It may work it depends on the manufacturer. Perhaps I missed it but what motherboard are you using?
