I know it's widely understood that memory speed has an effect on TPF, but I wanted to pass on my experience. All TPF times are for 8 core bigadv (6900s are what I see most of)

I decided to see how much of an improvement faster memory would make. My original memory was DDR3-1333. After some testing, I was able to get it to run at 1600, but my motherboard is capable of running DDR3-2133. My TPF at 1600 was 23min 5sec. I don't remember what it was at 1333, but it was somewhere around 23:30.

I found this..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231449. DDR3-2133 for $60 shipped.

I installed it today and after some BIOS changes, it's running a TPF of 22:05. The rest of the computer is in the sig. A reduction of 1 min is giving me around 3kppd more (44k to 47k). Not bad for just changing ram.
 
Great, though that memory is now 55$ shipped xD

I got 16GB (4x4) of the same ram, gathering parts for a new build this fall.
