I just received this EXTREMELY CHEAP Corsair 2x256MB DDR2 533 ram to get my 2nd PC up and going. The ram is great for what it is, and being that I only really bought this ram to make sure the PC would POST, I decided to see what I can OC this stuff to. I got to 365FSB using my proven DS3, and my great OCing E6300. THis OC was done on stocks volts for everything. Vcore @ 1.32, Vdimm @ 1.9, etc...... Here is a screen shot of what im talking about. (http://img439.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopai0.jpg) Here is my question: Why does Sisoft Sandra report my bandwidth efficiency @ 51% 
. When I used this same setup but with a MUCH higher OC using my G.Skill HZ ram running @ 924MHz I get 104% for bandwidth efficiency. Why such a big difference. The G.Skill is using 4/4/4/12 timings, where as this ram is safe using 4/5/5/15 timings. Here is a link to the ram i bought from newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145530) I paid 44.00 dollars for this stuff 5 days ago, and now the price is 55.00 . I cant believe this ram even OCed on stock volts!!! I can only imagine what this stuff might do on 2.2V+ I bet I can get DDR800 from this cheap corsair ram.
