2T versus 1T Performance! - I have 2T

[jancz3rt]

Hey guys. I realised that I am running at 2T. It will not boot into Windows at 1T. Some people are stressing the importance of 1T over 2T on S939. Although the theoretical bandwidth is considerably larger, the real performance increase is negligible! Now I know that Sandra, Everest and other such programs show huge performance increases....the real world scenario (based on what I have read) is strikingly different.

And Praetor's RAM 101 link quote:

DRAM Command Rate (self-abbreviated DRC):

I'm going to take a quote from Adrian's Rojak Pot in order to explain this setting:

This BIOS feature controls how long the memory controller latches on and asserts the command bus. The lower the value, the faster the the memory controller can send commands out.

DRC: Performance Gain: % Increase:
2T to 1T ~30MB/sec 1.1%-2.1%

----- what's the fuss about then?

to some people, especially those that like tweaking their ram, an unnoticable difference is better than no difference... at the end of the day most of it comes down to bragging rights

Theres no normal person difference between 1T and 2T although 1T is handsdown faster in every respect. As for Sandra and Everest etc ..... if you've not figured by now: they are retarded.
