According to X-bit Labs review of the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L the Performance Enhance option in the bios should actually be set to standard for best memory performance. I find this very strange but here is what they said...
"There is a parameter called Performance Enhance in the MB Intelligent Tweaker section. By default it is set to Turbo that turned out to be very important for the overall system performance, because it can help affect Performance Level setting. The lower is Performance Level, the higher is the actual mainboard performance, but we couldn?t determine the actual value for it. If Performance Enhance is set to Turbo or Extreme, Performance Level equals 8 at 490MHz FSB ? it is a good setting. If you set Performance Enhance to Standard, Performance Level increases to 12. The screenshots below allow you to estimate the actual performance difference in these two cases provided all other settings are identical. The first one stands for Performance Enhance set to Standard and Performance Level of 12, while the second one ? for Performance Enhance set to Turbo and Performance Level of 8 respectively."
They have a chart with benchmarks in the full article.

Is anyone able to back this up or know what the deal is? The latency looks better with it set to Turbo but overall memory performance is far worse.
