fsb vs ram timming =  high fsb win!

Assuming clock speed of the CPU is similar, 300HTT of 3-4-4-8 TCCD chipset registers a lower synthetic benchmark value in Sandra compare to 260 2-2-2-5 BH5. But the difference in value is not that significant. This has been discussed at great lengths with all the benchmark figures in xtremesys back then. It shows that at some point MHz is better and at some point timing is better. It depends on the applications, hardware and some other factor as well.

tight timing usually wins over ram mhz ler....
here is another good example smile.gif

It depends on the gap also, say you have 200HTT 2-2-2-5 and 250HTT 2.5-3-3-6 with both setup and the same CPU speed. Obviously it's a no brainer, the latter would perform better.

Simply said, it really depends on the chip. Like for the P4, it's insane miss rates due to replay really made low latencies redundant in certain situations.


Good points, one of the factor needs to be taken into consideration as well.
