| AMD nForce2 memory timings explored Piotke clears the confusion that might be there with memory timings on your nForce2 setup Quote:

| Now u got the hardware, might it be possible to test those 2-2-5 / 2-2-11 on your p4 system. I wonder what the difference is compared to my 2.5-3-3-7 settings this is the best my apacer pc3200 can handle. It's almost impossible to get 50b chips in standard belgian shops. Went to tones/forcom/digita/pcpartner and comtechnology but they only sell 50D |

| piotke will be getting a p4 cpu soon, so we'll get a follow up on that soon enough...

| the 2-2-11 will only perform better on a nForce2 setup for the P4 lower timings = better

| I allready have a p4 setup right now, but only one stick of BH5, so no dual channel.. I intend to buy 2 sticks of mushkin memory BH5, not sure yet

| you can do the test in SC, but 2-2-5 will outperform 2-2-8 (max value I think, no 11 available)

| sc is not an option for comparison on a dual channel setup... you can never extrapolate the difference in single channel towards dual channel

| only nForce2 shows increased performance with 2-2-11 as stated before. 2-2-8 on Intel will be slower then 2-2-5.

| will the difference between 2-2-2-5 and 2.5-3-3-7 on an Intel rig be comparable with the difference on and amd rig? Because the difference between them is =~ 430 3dmarks and it seems like everyone is selling their oc memory at this moment, so for a very small price, my rig could be running a lot faster and more stable than with this crappy apacer ram. |

| you could get an increase of some percents, however... in realworld applications you won't notice anything...
