Dual Channel DDR Question

When using DC DDR it requires 2 sticks of ram to be installed. Yes it is faster than single DDR333

Here is a <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm=959418" target="_new">PCMark2002 Benchmark</A> of my Tyan S2662 Granite Bay motherboard.

Yes, I am running 3.06HT on I7205 chipset =)

so 2 256mb sticks of ram in a dual channel ddr board are faster than 1 stick of 512mb in a regualar board?

think of it like RAID.
it will be the death of rambus. intel wont be making any more rambus motherboards.

Much faster, I have seen some screen shots of DC DDR scores beyond what is possible from RDR PC4200.

I hope PIO doesnt mind linkage but his scores own.

that's a weird screenshot you have there!

Because the ram there runs at 200mhz, and since the Granite Bay can only run the ram at the same speed as the FSB of the CPU, they have a HUGE overclock, or they have found a way to use other fsb:ram multipliers!

I'm going to check out if I can find the article on pio where the picture came from...

There is also a pin trick to fool the motherboard for 3:4 memory option.

Also the 1.6A and 1.8A C1 stepping can reach 200FSB now in rare cases with extreme cooling.

That is insane bandwidth.

I will go for the Gigabyte board next.

The max vcore for a C1 is around 1.75v to reach its maximum speed. I have seen the Japanese using liquid nitrogen and pushing 2.0v

It also depends what chipset/cpu type you use.

Dualchannel will benefit a P4 FAR more than using a Nforce2 Board for AMD cpu's.
Some performance is gained with the Nforce2, but its small.

indeed, a dualie DDR P4 OWNS an nForce2 AXP, with overclocking/3:4 tweak for the i7205 mobo, or once a better dual DDR chipset comes for P4

A pin trick to do that?
You mean it will probably also work on Granite Bay motherboards like the Gigabyte Ga-8INXP?
Can you give me some links or other info?
Because I would really like to try that out as soon as I finally have my 8INXP...

I should know this week if it works, not gonna test it on my 3.06 first, got a 1.6A on the way.
