Hey everyone.
I've searched, and I can't find a good answer to my question. I, and several of my friends, have Core 2 Duo systems. We all have E6600s (I'm apparently a trend setter).
My understanding is that since the system has a 1066MHz bus and since the memory is dual channel, we only need 533MHz memory and that outside of overclocking, there is no significant benefit to having memory any faster than that. Is that correct?
Please, include as many gory details as you like.
Thanks for your time.
