Testing / comparing : Intel D975XBX2 / Asus P5B DX ***56K WARNING***

[gtj]

Yes, but of course running a higher memory is going to be faster regardless of 1:1 or 4:5, but 400fsb 1:1 DDR2 800mhz on 533 is going to run faster than say 319fsb 4:5 DDR2 800mhz on 667 mem frequency.

So Its not necessarily an ideal comparison just that your memory is being overclocked by doing so, so of course it would be faster. Or am I interpreting your statement wrong gtj?

Well, I just tested the the 2 scenarios you describe and 400,1:1 did run slightly faster memory throughput than 319,4:5 but I think it's more to do with the processor running at 3.6 GHz instead of 2.88 GHz

Also, in order to do a valid test, you have to run the memory in single channel mode (1 stick) otherwise the effects of running both channels skews the results.

So I will go ahead and agree with Gtj on his statement

Gee thanks.
