[QUOTE="iNick, post: 460641, member: 35474"] You asked if there is any difference real world performance wise, I say that there isn't. Perhaps if you were buying a maxed out Mac pro for controlling a rocket ship on NASA's next space mission, then I'd go for the faster RAM. If I had to quantise the performance increase, Id say (and by no means is this based on anything other then personal experience) if you were encoding a CD in iTunes it [I]might[/I], if at all, finish 1/3 of a second quicker with the faster RAM. Besides if you mix 667 with 800, as per my last post, the speed of the 800 becomes effectively 667. Ask an expert (not the person trying to sell it to you) and they will say the same thing. So unless you replace both RAM modules you will not get the speed boost. Keep in mind that Apple themselves couldn't see the benefit. I wouldn't waste my money. [/QUOTE]
