photoshop cs2, do you notice something with the results?
they are all identical, even ddr2 800 555.
so this is rather a photoshop benchmark showing it doesnt really scale with memory bandwidth, nothing else.
at stock speeds, i actually agree... but when you overclock ddr3 its the way to go... why do you think everybody is benching ddr3 atm?
it IS faster than ddr2...
it actually NEEDS less than that, but it DOES scale with more bandwidth :)
if some reapers have D9GTR and some D9GTN, that kit is definately with D9GTR :D
