That's an L3 limit.Looks like the memory BW available is bigger than what the L3 can deliver.You need to OC the L3 in order to fully use DDR3 1333/1600.

There must have been something else which made you(and others) feel that your AMD AthlonXP system was "smoother" (TM) or more responsive.

Yes it must had been something else that made the system more responsive meaning when you open a program, not smoother.

These people based it on the fact that Athlon 64s and X2s had an IMC while Intel used FSB. Of course it's all bullcrud. I had an FX-55/X2 4400+ before and doesn't feel any more smoother than my PD940, E6600, Q6700.

See it, feel it, believe it :D

Overall the average-latency of DDR2 should be similar or even better than with ddr1, even though some of the latency settings are more "loose". AFAIK latency is calculated from the clock and the different latencies you can tweak in the bios. The latencies we're talking about are in the realm of tens of nanoseconds (one billionth of a second), it's impossible to notice, so in theory it can't be the memory-latency/IMC. If we want to look somewhere we'd need to compare the platforms as a whole...

can not think of anything else that could explain it, or maybe it is placebo for expecting to much of the newer hardware?

The imagination is very powerful and the mind very strange and easily fooled. To eliminate this uncertainty e.g. complicated, double blind, placebo controlled trials were invented I guess. Didn't the project windows mojave try to prove: that people believe what they want to believe?
As the difference in smoothness was never proven (i.e. measured; I know that would be quite difficult, but it's possible) nor pointed out by any major review site, I think it's just the mind playing tricks on you folks. :D

I'm also in, if anyone can help me figure out what half the new BIOS settings do. :D

I'll be entering in the "air cooling" division fyi. ;)

C1 is the retail stepping? Or C0?

Maybe you can't answer that question, but still... :p:

Don't know yet, heard there'll be D0 :rofl:

And what different C0 vs C1? :)

stepping changes are for bug fixes. so change in stepping usually means more bug fixes, critical or non-critical.

FWIW Anandtech has said they'll be releasing some nehalem overclocking guidance on release date -- apparently different boards have the bios options configured somewhat differently.
