Post your ram bandwidth benches here!!!
I decided to do a little experiment on bandwidth derivative! As most of us know, the AMD 64 seems to be more responsive to the cpu multiplier than our past cpu's. I strongly believe that this is due to the HTT.
My simple experiment shows the difference between FSB based mhz and cpu MULTIPLIER based mhz.
The constant is the system in my signature; benchmarking with Sandra lite 2005.
The settings chosen are 2600 mhz {260 X 10} and 2610 mhz {290 X 9}.
I think you may be a little surprised by the results!

2610 mhz {290 X 9} http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/rrrr/290.jpg
The 290 X 9 variable performed only 1.27 % better than the 260 X 10 variable in all tests.
As for ram bandwidth alone, the 2610 X 9 variable test scored 5.28% higher than the 2600 X 10 variable.
I love my ram, but I am not so sure that the memory bandwidth increase on this cpu @ 290 fsb {2.5-3-3-5} will be able to outperform timings of {250 X 10} {2-2-2-5}. Hence bh-5, or that OCZ vx stuff.
I would like to see one with the ocz vx or bh-5 run some Si lite benchmarks and contribute them! Uueeegh!
