just watched the latest video and wanted to understand why learning about my 2666 ram is considered slow. I’m okay with upgrading it, but when I checked online, I noticed laptop RAM prices ranging from 3200c22 to 3200c16 for the same price. Doesn’t seem like higher latency means better performance, right? So the C16 seems more appealing. But what’s the deal with the video showing a good RAM like the Ripjaw model? Is there something I’m missing?

The higher the MHz and the lower the CL, the better it is. Prices for hardware change often, so sometimes the most expensive isn't the optimal choice and other options may be cheaper.

It's common for laptops to include fixed RAM rates in their BIOS settings, so even with a 3200MHz RAM module, the actual performance might be limited to around 2666MHz.

The 4800h rating is supported for that device.
