Low latency, HIGH HTT, who wins??

[charlie]

I see all the threads, all the pushin' and shovin'...

Noone can agree.

What's better?

Most will agree that low latency kills high latency (duh!) but where's the line?

It looks like the much heralded OCZ VX4000 will hit 270 for most peeps.... that's nice
Where does that put VX compared to TCCD? We need someone to do a REAL test review, not a phoney baloney Ram#1 with VIA333 chipset and ram#2 with NF4, lol....
I'm confident there's a point where TCCD (2.5-3-3) will pass the performance of VX (2-2-2)...
But where's that point? If that magic number is 335, well then we'd better stick to VX and tight timings. If the number is 310, many of us are hitting that rarified air.
Now there's the issue of high HTT for a 24/7 system... components may not "like" high HTT, although my 24/7 rig runs 9 x 302, 2.5-3-3 with SATA drive....
In fact I think I'll do the little mini review myself... just need to head down to Fry's and grab some OCZ VX sticks (since I don't HAVE any, never had an opportunity to GET any) and I'll use my G.Skill "LA" 4400 sticks (since I HAVE THEM)

I will test A-B:

THEN, we will see where the chips fall... and we can all put this debate to bed.
