Memory Benchmarks?

[RadiclDreamer]

Im looking for a good review on the impact of memory timings with regards to the Athlon 64. I currently have an Athlong 3500+ newcastle with Crucial memory and I am thinking of getting some corsair xms but im curious as to just how much difference it will make

if they run at the same frequency, timing differences will result in minimal performance gain/loss

save the money and wait for AM2

I realise its minimal, but i want to know the difference anyway. There isnt much left for me to upgrade and i have the upgrade bug 🙂

Exploring the performance impact of memory latency, Is 2-2-2-5-1T really worth it?

No more than about 60MHz in CPU core speed. Corsair VS RAM can run at 2.5-3-3-8 up to about 215 to 220MHz. Avoid running 2T if possible.
