I got 2x512 Corsair XMS XL memory, SPD 2-2-2-5 running with a 928mhz FSB at 2-3-3-6 with a 3.2 P4 at 3.7. When i run sisoft memory bench it says my bandwith efficiency is 76%. I read about other people having like 96% efficency. CPU Z sayd I'm 1:1 2-3-3-6 with Perf mode enabled. Is this normal to have only 3/4 of your effeicency even with an overclock! Any ideas?

In BIOS here are all the settings I have for the memory and what they are at:
2
3
3
6
4 - (Options show 4 or 8)
Performance acceleration mode - Enabled
DRAM idle time - auto (Options show Infinate, 0T, 8T, 16T and 64T)
DRAM refresh rate - auto (Options show 15.6uSec, 7.8uSec, 64uSec and 64T)
SO what are you asking is 1T?

you won't get that high. 96% is with AMD64's in single channel, and it is because of their on-die mem controller. DC is about 10% less than in single channel but still very impressive.
P4's average about 75% efficiency. You're about bang-on.
