I've heard people claim that Unlinked is slower then Linked.

however, after about 20 trys with Super Pi, and various bandwith tests.... I can't see to find any differences, between linked or unlinked.
I mean none... I get no benifit from running linked, then I do unlinked....
For SuperPi there does not seem to be much difference but for 3D it is best to have it linked and in sync or unlinked but the RAM running at exactly half the FSB speed ( so it equiv to 1:1 ). This was confirmed by my own testing and also a 3d bencher who is a lot better than me ( a real lot better ).

Also we both agree with you on the 3-3-3 1T thoughts in regards to 3D, in fact here it is slightly faster than huge RAM speeds. The more memory speed you go the more trade offs you have to do .. I have to confess all these huge memory speeds just leave me cold. However they are useful for people who are running low multipliers and want to stay 1:1.
