Seems one dimm allows for much more RAM tweaking (instead of two in dual channel)

[n7]

I am lending one of my Team Xtreem dimms to a good buddy while he awaits arrival of his own RAM.

So naturally, i had to see how things run with one 1024 MB dimm instead of my normal two.
Waste of time?
Yes, but eh

I figured some SuperPI freaks might find the results interesting.
I wish i could run game benches for this, but we all know the difference is too minimal & it would take too much time.

I found i could tighten subtimings a lot more than previously with two dimms in dual channel.

System:
Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP bios 0711
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3402 MHz (7x486) 1.40-1.42V
Team Xtreem 1024 MB DDR2-1000 5-5-5-15 @ DDR2-972 4-4-x-4 2.25V

Super PI 2M results (averaged from at least 3 runs)

4-4-4-4-5-35-3-20-5-20
40.6927 (big difference when those last four subtimings are changed as compared to the first two subtimings)

For those with P5B series motherboards, you might wanna mess around with those last four subtimings especially (aside from obvious primary ones).
