Hello everyone, I'm receiving a 4650g and an X300 mini with two memory choices. I'm torn between two options for RAM and unsure how it will impact the APU. I have two possibilities: either get crucial 2*8 3200 cl22 SSDs for 50 euros or purchase crucial Balistix 2*8 3200 cl16 SSDs for 100 euros from Amazon. I'm not very familiar with memory speeds and timings, especially for the X300, so I'm not sure if upgrading to cl16 will really help. Would it run faster or slower compared to cheaper options? I'd rather spend the money on a larger NVMe drive or a better cooler if performance isn't affected much. Any advice or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

As long as you're not doing tasks that rely on memory or playing games, the additional 50 euros isn't worthwhile.

If you occasionally play for fun, you might notice a small variation in frame rates compared to casual use.

It's tough to accurately predict FPS differences without knowing your setup and game. Ryzen generally prefers quicker memory access. For certainty, consider lower CAS latency if you're unsure.
