RAM speed 1600~2133 and PT/postgre
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:43 am
I'm gonna build a new desktop soon dedicated for poker and PT3/4(in terms of appropriate hardware I don't think there'll be any differences between those two), and I'll have some questions. Of course now I'm still reading/learning from PTforum and computing sites, but this thread as in subject I'd like to dedicate just to that one simple issue. I'll go with i7 2600K CPU/Z68 or i7 3820/X79 and 16GB of RAM dual or quad channel. In many tests on the net there's no big difference between 1600MHz(even 1333) or 2133MHz ram as it comes to games, video conversion, file compression (up to 10% in same cases) but what about postgre. Will there be any benefits of 2133 speed over 1600 in terms of PT ? and what about the timings, generally it's better to have 2133MHz memory with slightly higher timings as the faster clock improves memory access time ?
