    Question about RAM timings / Radeon branded RAM

    "As of now, the Radeon branded RAM is available in three tiers, a 1333 MHz "Entertainment" tier (9-9-9 timings), a 1600 MHz "ULTRAPRO Gaming" tier (11-11-11 timings), and an "Enterprise" tier with unannounced timings or speed.  Only 2GB memory sticks are available with no news about larger sizes being planned."

    I thoought the lower the number, the better the RAM, Is there something wrong here, or with my impression?

    the timings are in nanoseconds; the difference is virtually unnoticeable. But why would I buy such RAM when I can overclock my generic Kingston RAM to 1600 MHz at 9-9-9-24?

    Also the frequency in MHz has an influence on RAM performance.
