The Impact of Memory Latency Explored 162
EconolineCrush writes "Memory module manufacturers have been pushing high-end DIMMs for a while now, complete with fancy heat spreaders and claims of better performance through lower memory latencies. Lowering memory latencies is a good thing, of course, but low-latency modules typically cost twice as much as standard DIMMs. The Tech Report has explored the performance benefits of low-latency memory modules, and the results are enlightening. They could even save you some money."

I'd have to say this is right on when applied picking a woman to spend your life with... low-latency memory is a BAD BAD thing, and VERY expensive. My next time around, I'm going with the "CHEAPER", high-latency model that can't immediately recall everything I've ever said while arguing her point... Roses and jewelry can cost you over the long run friends...

Your analogy does not hold. Slashdot is a high latency site. By the time I've read a few comments, I've usually forgotten what the story was about.
Wait, why am I posting this comment again?
