So, with the boards being out now awhile the question still remains unanswered ... any real world performance gained by utilizing an LDT of 4 or 5
Since I am a 3d artist, if you can show any rendering benefit it be great
For others out there, show what you feel is relevant to your main interest

I haven't seen any huge benefit other than one less setting to deal with when overclocking. It scores basically the same. The ASUS board I am running is ultra stable. It is really a great piece. HTT is @ 312 and the LDT/HT is at 4 and I just finished 11 hours of prime, no problems. Getting a X1800 Master next week so I will get to finally play with crossfire, whether that's a good thing I'll find out. All in all, I am very happy with the chipset.

Are you running 312 at 1:1?
If so, could you share some settings, please? :D

Just as I thought, a complete waste of money for the over priced RD 580 when Nforce4 does the same thing
RD580 has faster HDD Controller than NF4
I test with all components but different mobo : RD580 and NF4 SLI
RD580 with X2 2.9Ghz score 6k1 PC05 , and NF4 need X2 @ 3.1Ghz to score 6k1

Let me know what you need. If you mean my memory, no, I wish it was 1:1. And now I am up to 318 HTT. 1.41V and nice and stable too. Just gonna keep pushing it little by little until I hit the limit.

My SLI-D always got very unstable once the Hyper Transport Clock got over 1100 so to be honest this board is alot easier to OC. I never understood why changing the HT up or down made little to no difference in speed.

don't take offence but you're like a broken record :)
you've been asking this same question for weeks, i'm pretty sure others including myself have told you hypertransport width means sweet f*** all on k8 arch whatever chipset it's running on.
you want more performance, hit a miracle stepping or get into phase....but forget about 5x LDT bumping performance noticably.
... and I don't recall crossfire doing SLI... :) I must have missed the point!
i beg to differ :)
