No, there really isnt any performance gain. At least not any noticable one.
If you can actually notice the difference, and prove it (i.e. not tricking yourself that it is actually faster etc...) more power to you, but its virtually impossible.

I actually have just started playing with this, and I found a got a slightly higher score when I lowered the timing to 7 from 11. Need to test it more times, though. The difference was marginal at best though, so I'm not worried one way or the other.
11 is actually crappy for me.... I own an Abit NF7-S v2. I'm running my fsb at 210 and timmings 2-2-2-6 , and it runs better then running 2-2-2-11. Though , I think I'm probably the only one with these results looking at all the replies to this thread.

2-3-3-10? That's more lax than 2-2-2-11. Your timings are slower.

Damn, 2-1-1-2 is the tightest on my board, but my previous post was meant as a pun
I might later photochop some CPU-Z and Sandra later to pull your leg further Originally posted by PliotronX

Close, it's slang for Photoshopping or "digitally enhancing" images

We all want our PC's to be as fast as possible. It is the SUM of the overclocking, tweaking etc. that just might add up to something noticeable and worthwhile. I think people use 11 because it works the best in 3dmark and through all the controversy, it is still a good gauge for peoples individual tweaks and closer to gaming experience than sandra.
As a hobbyist, I'd say get the most out of your ram you can. When you've maxed your cpu, VC, fsb, ram timings.... then see if you can tell although i never worry about that anyway, just that its faster. Maybe your system is robust and healthy and its hard to tell but new games and stuff come along.
TRCD seems to be pretty critical and also the hardest to obtain a 2 setting.... only BH5 and 6 really get this regularly. A lot of people look to CAS.

i knew that, i was giving him grief for spelling it wrong
photoChoping vs. photoShoping - see the diff?? he used the first one, and meant the second one (im assuming), therefore i felt it necessary to bust him for it....
jeez, some people around here just don't get sarcasm (i know, i can't spell)

Photoshopping: Using Photoshop, possibly for professional image editing, drawing a web comic, etc...
Photochopping: Using Photoshop to manipulate a real image into an unbelievable image.
See the difference ?

A friend had a board that would do 1 2 2 7 prett well. I don't know how he got his cheap shit RAM down to 1 2 2 7.
i didnt think that was possible, but i know nothing.
