The good news: CPC 2T definitely makes things more stable!
And the perf hit is small ( less than 5% ).
Yeah, I wish I could use 3 3 3 8 2T beyond FSB300 but my 2x1GB mem won't let me. Beyond FSB300 I need to use 3 4 4 10 2T and while this doesn't sound too bad there are times when 9x290 2.5 3 3 6 1T provides better performance than 9x310 3 4 4 10 2T, like in WinRAR 3.61 single- & multithreading hardware test and dual Super PI 32M.
3DMark01/03/05/06 are of course a bit faster with 9x310 3 4 4 10 2T settings.
I did try 9x310 2.5 3 3 6 1T @ DDR333 speed and it wasn't too bad, actually quite good but with DDR mem we're already short of mem bandwidth so I feel DDR400 speed is the way to go.
The bad news:
Edit: I mean the bad news: I got no clue how 1T will work in games on my setup, because I haven't gamed yet on this mobo. But it could be like You say, it'll crash!
