Ram timing and speed

Postby Wingo » Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:19 am

If I were to halve the speed on my ram then halve the timings, would the ram have the same overall performance or would it suffer a loss somewhere? My knowledge as far as ram goes is quite limited, but from what I understand the theoretical performance should be the same.

For knowledge sakes, it is more of a theoretical question than something I'm going to do. It has been bugging me for a while so I decided I should ask and find out.

Nick,

Thank you from me anyway. As I believe you have said time and again, MSFS likes the fastest stable cpu speed along with the fasest mem speed at the lowest timings.

JS

PS I gather GEX Euro really has your attention. Looking forward to the release of this product.
