High memory speed/slack timings or lower speed with tight timings.

This is for geil DDR2 6400 btw with an e6300 @ 3.15ghz.
I've finally managed to get 450mhz (3.15ghz) on me e6300 with the timings at 5-5-5-15. The geil won't run 4-4-4-12 at that speed (900mhz) so its the slacker timings for now. I know its accepted that amd processors like tight timings, and I assume core2duo processors like high speeds with slacker timings, is this correct.
If so, what is the max speed (about) this memory can do in the system below at 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1 Vdimm.
I know this is a general query, but I'd like a sort of ball park figure to aim for to save a bit of time finding the "sweetspot" as it were.
Thanks.

Cheers minsta, I'll give that a go.

Well atm I'm running 1:1 with me e6300 @ 450mhz, so the memory is at 900mhz, 5-5-5-15.
Incidentally, I've tried superpi and run it, but where do you view the results? All I've got is a few notepad docs with nothing in them showing times :confused:

The results are just the time it takes to do a run, the quicker the run the faster your system is running.

I use 1MB as it gives quick results, though I guess the larger tests like 8MBs or bigger would be more memory dependant.

Thanks mate, I just didn't know where to view the results. I ran 1meg and 512 and got 18secs and 7secs respectively. how do those results look to you?
