What?s better ? DDR2 @ 760mhz @ 3-3-3-7 or 950mhz @ 4-4-4-15

Hey all, I have some higher end DDR 2 memory running 1:1 with my FSB on a core2duo system. The FSB is at 380, and the ram therefore is at 760mhz. I have managed to get the timings down to 3-3-3-7 completely STABLE.

I know that the system will boot at 950mhz on the ram, but there are two things concerning me. The fact that I will need much higher timings to achieve this, and the fact that there is supposedly a speed loss on Intel systems when the RAM is not 1:1 with FSB.

Any thoughts?
 
I was pointed to this article several times:

In games there is basically zero difference in performance for anyone playing at respectable resolutions and settings.
 
I'd bet on 950 being faster overall, as my own system runs faster @ 4:5 with looser timings than 1:1 with tighter.

Run SuperPI & 3DMark05/06's CPU tests as well as 3DMark01, & you'll be able to see which setting works best.
You can bench games too, but they're more of a pain to get accurate results.
