    Default Low latency or high speed?

    What would be better as a rule, lower latency or higher speed? and specifically with amd cpu?
    e.g Corsair XMS pc3200 2-2-2-5 (the one below) vs.Corsair XMS pc3700 3-4-4-8?

    also, assuming latency is the way, which ram you think is better from thses two? (or something else?)

    * OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 - Retail
    Cas Latency: 2-2-2-5
    or
    * CORSAIR XMS, Xtra-Low Latency 2-2-2-5, 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 w/ Platinum Heat Spreader, Model TWINX1024-3200XLPT - Retail
    ?
    and a follow up question, is there a difference between the above corsair ram and this ram: CORSAIR XMS, Xtra-Low Latency 2-2-2-5, 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 w/ Heat Spreader, Model TWINX1024-3200XL - Retail ?

    both have same latency and specs, but different color(the latter is black), did I miss somehting or it's just cause the color?

    Thank you very much, and sorry for writing this again.

    For an AMD cpu, low latency gives better performance than higher speed.

    u will most likely will be able to overclock very far with the higher latency ram...i had that exact model...and just sold it...it reached 230 FSB easily @ 1.725 vDimm...but Ginsu is right...lower latencies are better

    i can see the better performance with timings vs. speed with pc3200 vs. 3700 but what about pc 3200 vs. 4000 or 4200. what then? i'd like to know cause my build is in october and i want to know if i should compliment my xms pc3200 cas 2 with another stick or go for the pc4200 speed.

    the dfi ut 250gb mobo has been tested to a stable DDR616. the cpu and amd64 3000(newcastle) has been seeing 2.5-2.6ghz regularly. only thing left here is the ram. i don't want to do all this overclocking on loose timings if i can get better performance from cas2 timings.

    hmm....tuff choice..i would get some xl-pro's or bh5 or something good because they can do low lats at 3200 or higher (u've got all that voltage on the lanparty ) or high freqs with looserlats so its a lot of tweaking room...so you can see which one actually performs better...

    Edit: i almost forgot to add...with that much juice on ur hands...a good stick of bh5 or 6 will easily do pc4000 speeds at 2-2-2-6

    On a Raptor harddrive Windows can be installed in about 10 minutes.

    I too would suggest the Corsair 3200XL RAM for an AMD system. The XL will run 2-2-2-5 timings at 200MHz FSB but I have seen in some reviews where it has reached 250MHz by relaxing the timings to 2.5-3-3-8. RAM with that much scalability would be pretty fun for overclocking and benchmarking.
