High Bandwidth or Low Timings?

Hi,

Whats the best setup for my memory ?

1. Running 1:1 at 270mhz (std 250mhz) with 3-3-4-4 timings ?

or

2. Running with a divider at 255mhz with 3-3-3-4 timings ?

I can't seem to find any difference in benchmark scores..

Cheers,

Rich.

difference will be measured only in nano seconds... you'd be lucky to see any real world performance difference at all. However typical advice for AMD is to go for low latency when possible.

No real world difference in that. Like you said theres no difference in benchmarks.

But if i was gonna go for one, i would take the memory divider route as apparently they make no difference to performance! Then have the lower timings! As we've established K-8 loves low latencies!

Timings > speed on AMD
speed > timings on Intel
