Do timings make a difference

[tommy_knockers]

Hello, after messing around with my p4 proc, I decided to have a look at the memory.

It is registered @ 4-4-4-12.

I decided to have a laugh and put it @ 2-2-2-6. It worked

Is there any performance boost to be had in doing this. Will it improve benchmarks or games???

Cheers

sorry to take so long in replying lol.

Its some generic samsung ram. you know the cheap stuff.

533mhz


12hr test complete no errors

same for memtest.


all programs work fine.

cant really see any difference. Dont think my 7900gto allows any noticable difference. Especially in bf2 as it as 100fps locked already @ 1920x1200 fsaa top 8xs and AF 16x, with everything on high.

Havent tried oblivion yet.

It has actually made me question upgrading my rig. I was going to do this in the next couple of weeks, but I think I am going to hold on now for a couple of months. (At least until my exams are finished).


weird isnt it. Why didnt they put the timings lower on their specification
