DDR2 533 to DDR2 800 Conroe and AM2

[bache_au]

Q: How much of a performance drop when gaming would you expect to result from using DDR2 533 instead of using DDR2 800, on either the E6300 or AM2 3800+, ie. just a few frames

Thanks,

Here is a test to find how much difference memory speed makes on Core 2 Duo systems.

I haven't seen any tests done like this on AM2.

I've done some more research and here is a comparison for AM2 systems with different memory speeds compared to 939 with DDR 400.
