- That's the point right here... Some people (mostly gamers), try to get the most juice out of their system.You wouldnt notice it for normal every day use. When overclocking though, most people(like myself) like to push the absolute best possible preformance out of their stuff, so insane low timings are more importat for that.
OC usually means your system is more prone to stability issues too. If you're building a computer for normal use, there is no reason to OC and put more stress on your system.
Also, what does OCing the memory actually do for you in terms of performance? Memory-specific-bandwidth tests aside, where are the benchmarks that show you get a performance increase (the ones that show performance in games, applications, etc..)? (I'm talking about Conroe only)
- Re-read my question "how memory timings are affected with Conroes".... How big of a difference is 4 going to make from 5? With AMD, it seemed to be pretty significant.ill explain. lower timings equal better overclock ability. Can you argue that?
