My 3dmark03 scores

2 x 512 sticks of ram 2-2-2-4 1T= 11572
3 x 512 sticks of ram 2-2-2-7 2T= 11398

As you can see the 2T command reduced my performance by .9% +/- 1

So thats the trade off by having 3 sticks = 1.5gb of ram instead of 2 sticks = 1gb of ram.

Does the 2T command rate cause my 3700+ to perform at the level of a 3400+?

Math? 9% would be over 1000 points................................................you lost barely 1.5% and I'd say that's simply a measurment inaccuracy on top.

Yeah, sry I misspelled it, its around .9% give or take 1 point.

Dude, just admit it, you calculated wrong. It's not 0.9% either. It's about 1.5%

Ok, I didnt say exactly I said its around, I guessed and I was off a little. So I stand corrected!
