Asus P5N-E SLI small review

[gutano]

I'm dying to know if anyone has reached 3-*-*-* with Team Group 6400 4-4-4-10 (or even 5300 3-3-3-8 kit) at 400+. Even more so what the performance implications would be with something like a E6600 @ 9x400 (1:1) with those tight timings.

I've read somewhere (http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=get...62&articID=472) that the C2D prefetch is so good that you'd be better off going for good latency as opposed to just high bandwidth in real world. This might be hard to bench in synthetics, but it got me thinking.

Sorry if this is a little OT, but Couppi/Trice's posts (and the 650i chipset) are at the center of my thoughts on this.
