What I'm wondering is what speed should I shoot for when it comes to ram, and I'm not asking this as a lamer here. Sure I could easily spend $300 on a nice g.skil DDR3 Trident X 2600mhz kit and pretend I'm the man. I'm more so interested in the "what dolphin will use" area. For example we all know 4 cores is all you need, any more is a waste as far as cpu's go. I found a nicely over clocked sandy/ivy at 5.0 does a nice job of things. What I dont know is what speed of ram to aim for. I know the intel chips like fast ram but I'm sure there is an over kill level here some where?
I'd like to stay at 1.5v with a 9-9-9-27 or so, thinking 1866, but will 2100 at 1.55 volt be worth it? If I need to go much faster i'd have to do 1.65 and drop a heat sink on the ram and I dont know if its worth all the money and OC risk.
Can anyone share some thoughts?
