Don’t Buy fast Memory for your PC June 26
When you build your PC mostly people like to get all high spec including the memory, but wait here is the trick, What yo need for your pc is memory (RAM) that matches the speed of your frontside bus (FSB) data stream. For example an Intel Core 2 E6300 processor with its 1,066MHz quad-pumped FSB only needs DDR2-533 memory to work optimally, because base clock speed for both is 266MHz. Faster memory can make a small (no more than couple percent) difference in the performance, but can cost you up to four times the price of standard stuff.
For example, 1GB of DDR2-533 memory can cost you around $70-$100 ( depend on the brand), while DDR2-1066 sells for more than $350. With the new DDR3 memory around the corner chances of your DDR2 lasting a motherboard upgrade in the future are slim, so its not worth the amount money that you spend for it, unless your want over clocking your PC. you can see more information about CPU, FSB and memory in here
So why you want to buy more speed when you can save more and work optimal on the same speed, you can save your money and spend it for other thing
