What is the real major difference between the two?

You mean you couldn't find a dozen threads about this by searching? To summarize these threads, synthetic benchmarks show a significant increase in bandwidth when going from 2T to 1T, while in real-world performance (gaming framerates, 3DMark, SuperPi, etc) a gain of at most 4% (usually less) is realized. Some people insist on using 1T to squeeze every last bit of performance out of their rigs; however, stability definitely takes a hit when using 1T. It is usually harder to achieve the same memory clocks using 1T as opposed to 2T. My rig cannot run 1T even at stock settings, and upon asking Crucial about this, they responded: "We do not recommend 1T for our modules".Joeteck said:What is the real major difference between the two?
My experiments shows that 2T is about 20mhz drop in performance.Joeteck said:What is the real major difference between the two?

I said 1T is important if you are NOT overclocking.RedDragonXXX said:Actually running under 2T while OC'ing will give you better stability and most likely higher clocks, but there will be performance loss.
