Any of you noticed a difference in memory performance that is related to a boot FSB? Not like a cut-off as it was for P965 chipset, but sometimes a particular FSB, I mean a single FSB value among others gives far more bandwidth than expected...

I have posted it in another thread, but nobody seems to be interested because I've got no reply; BTW it might be something important to look at.

Ok; I experienced that while investigating MSI P35D3 functionning, but maybe it exists for other brands with P35 chipset.

(Available) Timings were the same, divider remained unchanged; I've just played with PL but results are given individually.

It looks to work only with FSBSEL jumpers set to 333.









A boot at 399FSB shown to be far more efficient than anyothers. Memory Read, Copy and Latency appeared significantly improved (even with PL8).
