hi guys
i wanted to ask u guys a question. how much performance difference would i c in games and other applications between 2gb ddr2 667 corsair value ram and 2gb ddr2 667 corsair xms2. provided no ram is overclocked at all.

 

[tdank]

Unless you are tweaking voltage, timings, latency IE Overclocking, probably very little.

 

[Belinda]

The difference will be so great you will be able to type "see" instead of "c" with absolutly no lag!!!

 

[tdank]

And possibly even capitalization and proper punctuation.


Then again, maybe not.

[lordszone]

then again
how much performance difference would i see between these two ram. like in games, what can i expect, like how many fps less with value ram. once again provided no overclocking at all.

Sorry for the semi-sarcastic reply.

It's unlikely you'll see any difference at all.

Since they're rated at the same speeds (assuming they have the same timings), they'll likely performe the same. XMS is designed for overclocking.

In fact, unless you have a 1333 FSB processor (most likely 1066), you'll be just as well off getting DDR2-533 if you're not overclocking. If you were to get DDR2-667, to use the RAM at 1333 and the FSB at 1066, you'd have to run the RAM async, which usually involves taking a performance hit instead of a performance gain that would might expect from the faster RAM speed (because it's async).

So in short, if you're getting a 1066FSB processor, you can get DDR2-533 and be just as fast as the DDR2-667. The faster speed means it CAN run faster, but you generally don't want to unless you're overclocking. Also, getting DDR2-533 means that your RAM will probably have tighter (i.e. lower) timings, which might get you a FPS or 2 over the DDR2-667.

If you're not familiar with RAM timings, getting DDR2 at 4-4-4-12 would be better than getting DDR2 at 5-5-5-15. Generally, lower timings are always better, but faster bus speeds are not always better (unless you're overclocking).

By the way, your subject line is kind of bitchy. If you really want a reply you should say something like "please reply asap!!!!!!" instead of "want a reply asap". Cocky bastard!

hey dont leave me behind!

here is my reply

 

[lordszone]

thanks for the reply. i got it.
as for dean7, this shows there is some problem with u and your background. if u dont like the title of the thread, u can give your suggestions politely. there is no need to prove that u are from a very low down family that has no manners whatsoever. the polite way u would have said "your title doesnt fit with this thread, it should have been .......". thats all.

 

[lordszone]

one more thing, on the asus's website, it is written that to run processors with 1333fsb, we have to have the updated bios and our ram must not be less than ddr2 667.so does it matter whether the ram is value ram or the normal ram, apart from overclocking potential.

I knew there was something troubling me... that's it! I am from a very low down family! We only sleep 10mm off the ground, and we are all short! And we have low social status! Damn us!
:lol:

 

[rickzor]

Its amazing how a small statment can make a huge thread of useless stuff :0

 

[lordszone]

come on guys, enough of this poor title thingy, can anyone reply to my previous post that is will there be any difference between the performance of these ram, if so then how much, and will the value ram support cpu with 1333fsb, as the asus website says that ddr2 667 and above will support those processors. are value ram included.

 

[bumster]

More often than not the only difference between the two types of RAM is the heat-spreaders they put on the overclocking version (XMS2) of the RAM. So more than likely there will be no difference at all.

 

[lordszone]

thanks for the reply bro, really appreciated

Here's where you went wrong...

"U" is a letter

"You" is a word

And U are an Idiot.

OMG IM TIRED OF THIS

1) YOU NEED DDR2 667MHZ RAM TO RUN 333MHZ FSB (1333 EFECTIVE)PROCESSORS! (667 RAM->333mhz RAM=333mhz FSB)

2) XMS2 ARE MADE FOR OVERCLOCK, SAID THAT, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO GIVE YOU BETTER RESULTS (NOT GUARANTEED). ALSO HEATSPREADERS WHEN THEY GET A LITTLE HOT.

3) YES YOU NEED UPDATED BIOS TO RUN 333mhz FSB IF THEY ARE NOT P35 MOTHERBOARDS

AS LONG AS THE RAM IS DDR2 667MHZ OR HIGHER YOU CAN RUN 333mhz FSB CPUS

Now, can we close this thread?
