Anyone know if there is comparison data on A64 systems using 1GB of ram at 1T vs using 2GB of ram at 2T? All things being equal, if I run my system with 1 gig of ram vs 2 gigs of ram what would be the outcome? Would my 3D benches be higher or lower? Your insights may determine if I get another gig of TwinMOS Speed Premiums since I've now fallen in love with the timings. Thanks.

3D Benchmark comparison 1GB vs 2GB?

Definitely lower. 2GB at 1T might be a different story, but I've never seen that one done before.
2 gigs has advantages in the more demanding games and other real life usage, but it's not going to do anything but hurt synthetic benchmarks.

alrighty then..... guess that slams the door on that idea....... thanks alot btw for your reminder the other night. I'm now running my ram at 240fsb running 290x10 and the 5:6 ram divider. Didn't have to lower my timings either......

Now pull two of those 512 meg sticks, run 1T and show us what you get...

Lol it says his cpu temp is 239 C. Are you sure your not using a Prescott?

Long time since I did anything with this thread but since I've "finally" gotten my TCCD ram to act right with 4x512 2T, I'm gonna do a few comparisons to show the differences (again). I know this has been done before but there's nothing like seeing it on your own computer. Let me know if there are any other benchmarks you'd like to see. Thanks.
Both setups are with TCCD ram clocked with almost the same timings at 270fsb.

That's interesting, I'd like to see that same comparo done against both Lobby tests where interleaving 1GB makes a big difference.

Really makes you wonder what 2Gb @ 1t would be like. Too bad we can't find out just yet. Will 2GB 1t boot at any speed I wonder, but don't corrupt your BIOS on my account
Thank's for the test HR

I have run it all the down to 166 on a divider and still not get my system to boot. So if you're asking me I'll say NO!

Boot 1GB with 200Mhz set 1T then plug the other two sticks in really fast

The Crucial Ballistix stuff can do insane speeds 2 GB 1T. But no one ever seems to like Micron. 
All about the Samsung and the Winbond.

i love micron. its the best middle of the road solution. you get good speeds with legit timings. and 1 gig sticks that can do 270.

I agree....... I've heard nothing but good things abou the Ballistix. My guess is people are turned away by the price.
