I'm focusing on the details of memory speeds. This system is planned for heavy gaming and aerodynamics work, so I need to understand the best RAM options. I'm considering a 16x2 32GB configuration with speeds like 5600MHz or 6000MHz. The specs mention DDR5 up to 4800 MT/s, but I'm not sure how that translates to actual performance. I've noticed AMD has historically gained from faster RAM, while Intel hasn't shown the same advantage—could you clarify if that's true? Or is the Alder Lake design simply prioritizing higher speeds?

Intel frequently exceeds its rated performance limits. The 6000mhz CL36 stands out among the options mentioned. Both Intel and AMD gain advantages through memory overclocking, though Intel tends to perform more consistently.
