I've always wondered what the fuss was about the so-called "increased memory bandwidth" of the RF bioses over MF bioses. The little comparison I did with Grnfinger was a draw at best: postcount 2719

Grnfinger's response: postcount2838

My response: postcount 2846

Grnfinger's post: postcount 2857

My response: postcount 2863

My final post on the subject: postcount 2882 This actually favored the MF bios over the RF per the comparison with Grnfinger. Yes, the RF gives you more control over how to tweak certain settings, but the MF bios offer the same performance, if not more, if you know how to tweak it.

your fsb has a lot to do w/ your results. lower your fsb to 450 and compare results. perhaps my i should re-state what i said. it gives an insane bandwidth increase @ lower fsb.

*edit*
im missing the crash free bios right about now... dfi bios is DEEP.

Zen, it's all in strap/trd manipulation. No advantage to the RF bios, except I repeat, better/direct control over these settings.

the trd manipulation is what makes the rampage. otherwise you are right, there pretty much is no difference. in my case, the trd manipulation allowed me to go from pl8 to 6, which increased my bandwidth. i was unable to do this on mf. i will conceded to usage may vary.
