1/1 memory dividers on Conroe System

[Marvelous]

I've read it here before but can somebody link me to the page where they show performance numbers using various ram dividers on Conroe systems...

I didn't like the way the presented the data. I wish they had just left the raw data, not converted everything in to %.

OR at least normalized the data to ddr2 667 as its the most common ram choice. ie: ddr2 667 5-5-5-15 = 0% then +% for faster ddr2 800 -% for the slower rams, etc.

Even though the graphs are sometimes misleading. At least their conclusion is dead on:

So does Core 2 need high speed memory to shine? The answer is a resounding no! This is different from AMD AM2 where more expensive memory is needed to get the most out of the system.

On Intel Core 2 pure synthetic memory bandwidth benchmarks show a 30+% increase, but this does not translate in a noticeable performance bump in games and applications, where the increase, at best, is ~6% and this going from cheap high latency PC3200 to expensive low latency PC6400, and while these expensive modules do take the performance crown, their lead over the mostly cheaper PC4200 rated sticks is smaller than 3% in real world benchmarks.

What I really want to see is overclocked settings...

Like the popular 6300 and 6400... And bump it to 400fsb or 450fsb and run it with 533, 667, and 800 ddr2 memory...

I didn't like the percentage graph either...
