That would depend on what you have for a CPU. If you have one that tops out ~ 150 FSB like I and many others do, it means a lot. I'll take DDR400 cas2.5 over DDR300 cas2 any day.Duvie is 100% correct. 400+ddr is not worth that much due to CAS latency.
Sorry, the misquote was not intentional. Its just that I found statement above a little too vague. The "is not worth that much due to cas latency" needs a lot more said about it. Even though you say to check the benchmarks, the way you worded it plays down the importance of a great new option people have who run 133-150 FSB speeds. There are a heck of a lot more people with that setup than ones running 165 - 170+ FSB. For that majority, it is worth it, and it is not a compromise. For the people like you and Duvie with "Titanium Platinum" CPU's, it is.Duvie is 100% correct. 400+ddr is not worth that much due to CAS latency.
its a big comprimize that each OCer will have to figure out for themselves. just check my benchmarks.
