    difference between the frequencies of DDR3 RAM

    Hello all
    I came here for your opinion. Is that if I put in DDR3 strips of 1066MHz will I feel a difference in performance with slides that run in 1300 or 1600? My experience with the ddr2 leaves me skeptical. I have not overclocked yet. Thank you

    There is not really a high gain, only till 0.0001%

    Re: difference between the frequencies of DDR3 RAM

    The "3" in "DDR3" stands for "3rd generation", so in order to get the actual DRAM frequency, whether for DDR or DDR2 or DDR3, the formula is still the same: "/2", not "/3"
    From what I heard (sry all I got recently are bunches of AMD CPU's ), the formula for Intel Q9xxx family and DDR3 is "DDR3 frequency /4 = CPU FSB".
    Searching the forums can help you to find your answers more quickly

    DDR3 is designed to support much higher frequencies than DDR2.

    But the DDR - Double Data Rate - design is the same: the memory is active on the positive and negative side of the clock
