msi nf3 ultra ....a64 3200

looking for best ram

maximum bandwidth of pc3200 = 3.2g/s

pc4000 = 6.4g/s

to better utilize htt of 1000 provided by this board
would it be best to use higher capacity bandwidth ram.
wont pc3200 bottleneck once it has hit its 3.2g/s saturation point?

There are two camps to memory performance, bandwidth and timings.

With lower latency timings, the lower bandwidth memory should perform equal to higher latency timing, higher bandwidth memory in real-world usage.
