I know there are so many specifications on motherboards and ram, and I am just curious as to what some of them mean.
Motherboards- I know frontside bus has to do with memory, but how does it work? do they have to be the same frequency to run most effectively?
On a particular one I'm looking at, it says the FSB says 1600/1333MHz. Why are there two different frequencies? Also, it says the memory standard is 1066. Why wouldn't they be the same?
As for memory, does cas latency really affect gameplay that much? Would I want buffered or unbuffered for just a home gaming system (or is there even an option)? Do I want self-correcting?
I know that's a lot of questions, so just feel free to answer just one or whatever. Thanks to everyone in advance!
