R Rippy087 Baseband Member Messages 46 Jul 27, 2006 #1 What is the difference between RAM timings? Ive seen 4-4-4-12, 5-5-5-12 and basically everything else. If I want RAM for gaming what is the best ram to get? I need 240pin ddr2 800 Thanks, Jake

How much RAM are you looking for, as you're gaming I will assume 1 or 2gb. DDR2 RAM 240PIN 800: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145589
