Ok this is my situation:
I got a 3000+ Winnie at 290x9. MY memory is 2x512 crucial CL3 (-5BC´Micron chips think)and i have to run on the 133mhz divider to avoid memtest errors.
The memory is currently running at 194ish mhz at 2-2-2-5 1T.
I can run with the 166mhz setting (3:2 i think) wich results in 240ish mhz but i need horrible timings and get an error after a while in memtest86.
The performance isn't really better witht he higher setting (thanks to timings i guess).
If i'd upgrade my memory so i can run 1:1 how much performance gain would i get? My current testing showed me that the A64 seems to have way eanough bandwith allready. If i get a great performance increase with new RAM i consider an upgrade though.
If it's useful what memory would bea bale to reach that speed? I'm not looking for memory that can do 250mhz since that is definatly not worth it to me. (Noone will buy my current sticks for a half decent price i am quite sure.)
The only memory that can do that is with TCCD chips right? But will the drop in timings be worth it?
