Need help / suggestions for memory for Asus P5Q Q9450 system. I intend to overclock if needed to improve performance, but not a big gamer. Two setups I'm considering are listed below:
DDR2 800 (4-4-4-15) overclock to 3.2 GHz
DDR2 1000 (5-5-5-15) or DDR2 1066 (5-5-5-18) overclock to 3.6 GHz
Questions:
If overclocking from 2.66 up to 3.2 GHz, I assume the DDR2 800 (4-4-4-15) setup will be faster and would be stable at 3.2 GHz. Yes/No?
If overclocking above 3.2 GHz, will the DDR2 1000 (5-5-5-15) / DDR2 1066 (5-5-5-18) setup be faster than the DDR2 800 (4-4-4-15) at 3.2 GHz? If so, how much more overclocking is needed to get the same performance? Will the difference be noticable for mild gaming use?
Thanks,
