RAM Choices

The third most important feature when building a gaming pc. To put it simple, the more the better! Faster RAM is also defined by its frequency where higher is better and latency where lower is better. Memory with high frequencies will tend to have higher latencies than memory with lower frequencies. The ideal here is high frequency with low latency which will give the best performance.

When looking for RAM consider the model too. Manufacturers often build systems with either unbranded RAM (this translates to cheap chineese junk!) or the bottom end range of a brand; Corsair do basic ram designed for basic budget systems and it is just known as Corsair RAM, but they also do an XMS Range which is far far better. We only use Corsair XMS RAM or better here, its regarded the best in the industry and has been for years. Corsair also offer a lifetime warrenty with all of their XMS and Vengeance RAM.
