What difference is there in duel channel?

[ionicle_old]

Tell'em what timing's your @ mr. Ionicle. Hell, just post a CPU-Z Shot .

 

[NickS]

Awesome man .

Your aquamark score improved DRASTICALLY. ownz0red me now .

 

[FarFarAway]

Is it back in d CHan Nick?

If so good work

 

[ionicle_old]

[Eguy]

[ionicle_old]

....they released a new one? i downloaded the one that was on the SX downlaoding list

 

[Eguy]

all you need to do it check thier website ian

 

[ionicle_old]

done...n downloaded...but i dont see a difference

 

[FarFarAway]

Remember that he's running XP in windows 98/ME mode too so its bound to look aweful

 

[ionicle_old]

it may look awful, but it uses less ram n processor power, i go to the thing where it ses ajust for best apearance or adjust for best performance n i prefer performance over apearance......

 

[ionicle_old]

...what is latency...i got it told to me...somthing bout latency...but what actually is it?

 

[Zyxthior]

Latency, in its most basic definition, is the wait time that a device goes through before it works again...hence...the lower the latency....the faster the RAM as its not spinning its wheels.

 

[ionicle_old]

...ok, so its the time it takes to work...right?...so my ram is 2-2-2-5, so that means it takes 2-2-2-5 to do anythin...can anyone explain that?

 

[Zyxthior]

No no...its not quite that simple....Each number means something difference (CAS Latency, Cas-Ras Delay, TRAS Precharge, etc....I forget what they all mean). The important thing to remember is that lower is better (i.e. faster).

If you are really curious I'd highly suggest going over to Corsair's website and go through the "Memory Basics Presentation". You'll see the link to it on the Top Left of this webpage (its a Java App I think). It's quite informative:

thanks for that...it makes more sense now..
