Okay then, I'll be happy in the 2.6GHz range...but i want mid 2.6GHz! lol...*prays chip does well*

Jason711 said:uh no... quite the contrary i assure you. the performance gains on the a64 platform are quite minimal above 200mhz on the memory bus. we are talking around 5-10% at best.

Jason711 said:yes. really.
joecuddles said:Dude.... you're on crack. Seriously. If you call 8000 mb/s bandwidth 'quite minimal', well, then I guess you're right. I, however, find going from 6000 to 8000 mb/s to be quite substantial. Even going from 200 to 240 or so, my memory bandwidth goes up a little over 1000 mb/s. So if that's 'quite minimal' to you, then you're correct.
James Earl Ray said:Sorry, I would have to disagree!
Jason711 said:uh... if you transalte memory bandwidth to overall system performance then you are on crack.
Do you have any fact to prove it? I doJason711 said:then by all means.. disagree!
James Earl Ray said:Memory bandwidth plays a large part of system performance with the 64's. But what do I know?
Vendeko said:what are the crucial ballistix running? BH-6?
Captin Insano said:No Crucial uses their own chip made by their parent company Micron. It is not Bh anything nor is it Tccd. All Tccd chips are made by Samsung.
Wintergreen said:Jason is right, the Athlon 64 is not bandwidth starved and the difference in memory speeds between PC3200 and PC4800 is at most 1-2% over a global series of tests. Similarly, low latency vs high latency at same speed seems to add 1-2% globally to performance. In sum unlike the P4, or A-XP, which are in fact bandwidth starved, with the A64 you're best bet is to buy cheapest PC3200 ram and run at it's best potential, async or not. The performance will be indiscerable.
