Hey,
I'm wondering if anyone has done research into single-sided overclocking potential. Will 4x 512s tax the memory controller more than 2x double-sided 1gig sticks with the same chips (Micron 5b D)? Or will 2x double-sided overclock more highly than 4x single-sided? It's the same number of chips/sides, however lower density and filling fewer slots.
Basically, I'm building a new rig with an Opteron S939 on a DFI Ultra-D, and am curious whether my choice of module (the single-sided 5b D) will adversely affect my overclocking potential due to inherent limits of the on-chip memory controller of the opteron.
On a related note, how high can those Opterons generally get their HTT? I'm also hoping I didn't limit my o/c potential by getting a 144 .
Hopefully I can get some answers.
Thanks!
