Learn the basics of memory in 10 minutes through the SuperTalent “Memory 101” slide show.
Memory 101 Topics:
Memory Latency
Latency is the lag time memory takes to prepare data for reading or writing
Latency is measured in clock cycles
-- Lower latency numbers means fewer clock cycles and better performance!
Industry standard (JEDEC) latency values ensure compatibility across all motherboards and memory modules, but do NOT deliver optimal performance
More aggressive latency settings will usually boost memory performance
