Hey guys,
I have some pretty good overclocking ram, a 2 gig kit of Buffalo Firestix Micron GMH. I've got my E6400 running at 3.2ghz on 400FSB x 8 multiplier. These firestix are currently running 1:1, so they are running at DDR800 at 4-4-4-12 timings.
My firestix can hit DDR1000, but my CPU can't hit 500FSB. Is there a point to running the memory faster than the CPU, so that the memory is running at 500mhz (DDR1000) on 5-5-5-15 timings, but the cpu at 400mhz? Is there any practical performance benefit to this, or is it just for bragging?
Thanks,
Darren
