    Guys,as title says who have better performance in gaming
    1.16GB DDR3 1333mhz OR
    2.8GB DDR 1600mhz
    Does performance depend on cas latency??
    which have more important cas or mhz or Bandwidth of GB????????
    What I found on net is a "TOTAL WAR" of this topic.
    Thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    Neither are VERY important. You're not likely to see any sort of performance difference between 8 and 16GB at all, unless you're doing some pretty heavy multitasking. As far as Mhz or CAS, the results will be negligible, and you likely won't notice a difference. Don't loose any sleep over it mate :p

    If you're gaming with a dedicated graphics card, the difference is negligible. It's another story with integrated graphics though.
