One question, does the timing really matter on the RAM sticks or no? Really confusing.

 

[boju]

True. Didn't see that, CL16 would be better.

True. Didn't see that, CL16 would be better.

Not to be annoying or anything, just trying to clear up confusion in my end. But what is CL16?

 

[boju]

Timing which the ram runs at. CL 16 is faster than 18. Also lower the timings at the same frequency means better quality ram.

So I would need this RAM then.
