Just how important is the quality of the Onboard Memory Controller?

[Smurfy]

Well ok, the reason i ask
I have now had 2 Gb of TCCD
1 GB of Geil Ultra X PC3200
1 Gb of Mushkin L2 V2

I noticed both crapped out at almost identicle points ( 285 7,3,4,2.5) thats on a MSI Diamond Sli Board with a 3000+ A64.

I felt it was strange they both crapped out at 285 so i lowerd the multi to see if it made any difference. i droped the multi all the way down to 4.

Now after a bit of testing im currently sitting at 4 x 345 ( 3,3,2.5) now to me thats bloomin amazing, so my question is this. Does the RAM do more more work ( under more stress) at higher Clock speeds or is it just the onboard Memory controller.

If its the Onboard memory controller of the A64 i have to say it would seem to me that the CPU is a far more important to gain High FSB than the ram.

I can post screenshots for anyone thats intrested im currently primeing @ 345 ( 3,3,2.4) to test for stability but at a cruddy 1380 Mhz.

4x multi sets CPU/5 divider for ram if running 1:1, because CPU/4 doesn't exist.
You're actually at 276 MHz CL2.5-3-3-X.
