I'm planning out my memory upgrade for my A64 Venice setup and I'm having a touvh time deciding which RAM to get. Anandtech has done testing on both PC4000 VX and the OCZ PC-3200 Rev. 2,which is now using TCC5, so to get the best TCC5 I'm looking at Platinum PC4800 instead of PC3200 Rev. 2. Anyhow, I can't decide which one is going to be the best to get. Anandtech's findings show that PC4000 VX does very well with high voltages, and even out-performs TCCD-based modules (TCC5) at lower speeds, but tighter timings. However, PC4000 VX requires real high voltages and might hold my processor back a little by not being able to reach as high HTT speeds as PC4800 (I prefer to run 1:1, and I don't want to limit myself to mid-260's unless it's a processor limitation). So basically, what is your guys' opinion/advice to me in my situation. Basically I'm hoping to hit or at least come close to 3ghz with a Venice. I just setup a real high-end water system specifically for this purpose, so if I get a good enough CPU, I should be able to do it. That's where the RAM comes in. I would like to get as close to 300mhz as possible - what do you guys think will give me the best performance at or close to 300mhz?
EDIT - I will be using the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D.
