naw, massive frequencies will result in higher bandwidth. Timings are nice, but they still dont compare to raw mhz power.
Not entirely true...

There is a point where increased FSB gives you greater performance than low latency, but it varies.

On this, and other forums it has been widely proven that running ram at any given CPU/FSB speed with 5:4 2-2-2 is faster then the same 1:1 at 2.5-4-4-8

Thus 250/200 (FSB/RAM) 2-2-2-5 is faster then 250/250 (FSB/RAM) at 2.5-4-4-8.

DDR2 will not be a strong performer , at least until DDR2 667 is out. This years crop of DDR2 400 and DDR2 533 wont help us.
