And which kit is that??
PC2-9600
a) Because he works at OCZ.Why would you need that? Boards can't run stable at 600 FSB (other than P35 based boards).. and it boggles me why you would want to run an async upclock.. if you can even get it stable.
a) Because he works at OCZ.
b) Because he can.
c) Both of the above.
Well, with memory rated to run at higher frequencies, the timings can always be reduced. Or, a divider can just be used to make use of the higher frequency. What's wrong with running the memory frequency async to the CPU's FSB frequency?
Doesn't stablize.
Intel memory controller takes more voltage to be running RAM so high when you get into the high FSBs. It's almost like doing two things at once - so it is always better to lock down 1:1.
From the benchmarks ive seen, frequency eats games for breakfast. Big time. Why go 1:1 and reduce your framerate by like 10-15FPS?
Moreover, im running asynchro and im dead stable.
This 1:1 seems really usless and overhyped to me.
No, i was right. Here is the test:

Difference between ddr-667 and ddr-1067 is a wopping 5-10 FPS! So shut up on that 1:1
I'd put my 880Mhz DDR2 at 1:1 against the DDR-1067 test in that review any day if I had a 7900 on hand.
Even when clear performance gains can be obtained when running memory at higher frequencies...
Is your memory magic?
You will acheive much better performance with a higher CPU clock running 1:1..
But, if the CPU clock remained constant, higher performance will be gained if the memory frequency was higher.
Those benchmarks are misleading in that they do not show the difference when you overclock the processor.
higher mhz with the same latency is always better... DDR800 never beats DDR1066
My Conroe @ 3.6 GHz running 1:1 with crappy 800MHz value RAM will beat by a longshot a Conroe @ 2.93 GHz running whatever with any $500 PC-10000 1250 MHz RAM.
Of course it will but, if both were running at the same frequency and one had the memory set at a higher frequency than the other, then this one would perform better.
On the new p35 chipsets no-one is having trouble doing 1:2 in 1333/1333 configs from what i've read so far. In fact board is designed with this in mind.
