Hi I have been researching which memory type to buy because I wish to purchase a new computer. However I want to go in detail of the different frequencies.
I ask because I was hoping to buy a computer with Intel Core 2 Duo Q9550 (2.66GHz) 1333MHz FSB and have the
option to buy either 1,333MHz or 1,600MHz RAM. I was thinking to buy 1,333MHz RAM because it matched the FSB of the processor. I was reading about FSB ratios or something and I did not understand it fully so I looked at my current PC's RAM via CPU-Z and that confused me further about the Bus Speed, Rated Speed and DRAM frequency - they are all different! Also the 'clocks' is it better to have them all generally lower?Thanks.
