For a to be built 2D multi monitor system for online stock and currency trading with an ASUS A8N5X mobo and AMD X2-3800, PNY Quadro NVS 440 PCIEX-16,.....I'm trying to decide on good, fast, reliable memory but I don't understand timing and CAS very well.
I'm not a gamer. No 3D games on this system.
I've sort of decided on 2 gigs of some Corsair Twinx2048-3200 or 3200PT or 3200C2. Two of them are 3-3-3-8 and one is 2-3-3-6. Will this work with the mobo and CPU?
Then there is the OCZ stuff: OCZ4002048-PFDC-K, P4002GK, ELDCPE and ELDCTEK (Couldn't they give them some easier to remember names or model numbers? I got a brain freeze here.)
They all seem to cost between $165 and $210, not that significant a difference over the life of the computer, and I can afford it anyway. I'm more interested in reasonably good speed and reliability and ease of installation and use and set up. Even some so called "value ram" is $185 for 2 Gigs.
So,....do any of these timing issues matter all that much for what I'm going to do? Will 2-3-3-6 make much difference over 3-3-3-8 to me or what I can see with up to 3 or 4 monitors on a broadband cable connection runnning a couple of programs at the same time downloading a bunch of changing charts?
I'm a senior citizen, so you'll have to be gentle with me.
Thanks for your time and knowledge.
