PC Peripherals Suggest RAM

From that article
FSB 1066 MTs = DDR2 1066
FSB 1333 =DDR2 1066 OC
He had compared frequencies, but what abou bandwidth?
At FSB1600, bandwith will be 12.GBps & this can only be achieved with DDR2 800, 400 x 2 x 8(him) =6400MBps in single channel..

I think you have to look at prices also. Now DDR2 800 MHz is pretty much defacto, and DDR2 667 is rarer.

But with Intel its about speed (frequency) than latency but this is changing with memory become so fast that MHz is giving decreasing returns. Obviously 1066 MHz would be better than say 533 MHz in any scenario. My D9s can do 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 (rated). I can also do 5-4-4-12 @ 1066 MHz at 2.1V.

At 800 MHz they are rated at 4-4-4-12. But I can do 4-3-3-8 @ 2.1V again.

Running SiSoft Sandra or PC Mark, I get better bandwidth scores at 4-3-3-8 @ 800 MHz then I get with 5-5-5-15 @ 1066 MHz.

For example DDR3 @ 1600 MHz is only 8-10% faster than my D9s which are 2 years old now. So things on the memory front have become one step closer to stagnation (if you'll get what I mean)
