    Anyone use products of G.Skill?
    I'm thinking of buying RAM from them. What do you think? Or should I just stick with Corsair...

    i dont use it but i have read a few good reviews for their ram.

    apparently they do very good low latency stuff that your athlon will use very well.

    think of it as reaction time. you can lower the timings and oc but that wont always give you better performance from your ram.

    for overclocking the best are Corsair's XMS2 Dominator but they come at a price.

    overclocking qustions should be in the ocing thread

    yea lower numbers faster reaction. but if you oc you might need to lower the reaction time( give the timings higher numbers) so that it will stay stable at the higher frequency
