Really great this is here but what does one so about shopping for it? I’ve been reading about other things like single vs double sided and it won’t be known until you get the box. Also some websites don’t list all the specs that are relevant and focus solely on the speed but if it’s single sided CAS 20 4000 MHz is moot

There benchmarks out there for some of the more popular RAM kits which you can go off of. Other than that, RAM and SSDs (especially SSDs) are more complicated and there are niche communities that can help you much more than this forum.

Hi,
how much RAM do I need to have multiple video cards?
Little late here, but you don't necessarily need more or less ram based on how many video cards you have. Each video card has its own VRAM. 16GB+ will be fine

Been delving into RAM overclocking as of late. I've made good progress with getting working, stable values for benchmarking, but it's probably best to visit the basics and understand each on a lower level. Thanks for the breakdown!

Wow this guide is from 2009! Love the info but it could be updated with reference values/good options for DDR4 and soon DDR5 kits

Very nice post but as a cs student I can say that from the cpu view a ram access is like walking to the store to buy food instead of using the food in the fridge. But the store is acually 200 miles away. What I want to say is: RAM speed is nice but dont go for too expensive RAM its not worth it.

Cool GTX
good read
Thread by GGTV-Jon
As with any other thing in the system if it's not bottlenecking, increasing the performance of it doesn't help much much for the performance of overall system. I.e. as oppossed to CPU+dGPU for many APUs memory speed matters significantly, increasing performance almost linearly as the memory is the one bottlenecking the performance. Also it depends which task is at hand, i.e. (de)compressing vs. gaming is a total different thing, so worth it or not depends on many factors. Generally speaking I wouldn't choose higher speed vs. more RAM for the same price, especially for productivity, but having quality stick i.e. 3200MHz at a reasonable price at 32GB that can be overclocked without issue are a good way to boost performance if RAM is the bottleneck. Usually it isn't, so gains are pretty low for most people.

Have some CL-17 RAM which is showing as CL-18. Apparently an issue for AMD setups?
