Hence my old 2-3-2-5 G.Skill sticks, 4-3-3-8 sticks I had once (if I remember rightly). Why then do they sell sticks like that? Should not they just be like... all equal through lowering some of them numbers to meet the others?
Also, yes they easily do 4-4-4-8 800mhz 1.9v. I just tightened up the timings as low as I could go on each with the necessary voltage adjustments (1.95 it took to get memtest stable).
EDIT:
In fact I just asked two people and they confirmed that 4-3-2-8 would be faster than 4-4-4-8. Also, I tried it and did not notice a performance gain.
And the sticks will not do above 2T period. I run the FSB @ 1600mhz so need the RAM @ 800mhz for 1:1. The sticks will do their 1066mhz 5-5-5-15 but I really don't find much of a performance gain which I think is due to them running out of sync with the FSB.
When I get a 1333mhz CPU I should be able to stretch them closer to 1066 and keep a 1:1 | |  | |  | |
Yes you are right, with 2T any tightening of timings is good. With 1T you play with another ball game, so to speak, and even timings just shoot better. The DDR timings you had before, was more selling points, such as "low timings" 3-4-3-8 PC4000, it was rebranded memory that seemed better and had decent timings.
Not tring to push ya around, after talking to planet for a while, i relized its just as good as 4-4-4-12 but with 2T you can't do much but run as low as they go.
