Thanks, I found it helpful and thought I'd share it with everyone

yeah i was tempted by the 2133mhz but read around that it was not that stable but according to ur article it was not realy any faster, cheers

Pretty much why I went for the 8gb of 1600mhz ram.....not to mention it was proven more bang for less deniro; whereas 2133mhz isnt quite so much of a safe performance increase. That article shows why. Good find.

Yeah after reading this I amended my order for the Hyper-X (didn't cost much more than the 1333!), and then I thought I'd post this on the forums to help out anyone who can't make up their mind on weather it's worth it or not

Nice article.

Confirms what i think about memory speeds, you have to measure the difference in performance to even notice it, theres some very uniform graphs!

Yepp, I thought it would be good to post this article here as people are constantly choosing the wrong RAM for their intents and purposes, and it would be cool to have a single, reliable source of information haha
