memory timing vs clock speed

[rotoghost]

I seem to be getting some conflicting opinions on the importance of memory timings with P4 875p systems. In your experiences would you realize more real world performance by using ddr500 with an overclocked fsb (to 1000mhz), or aggresively timed ddr400 (2-2-2-6)?

end of line

Depends on what your doing. The aggressive timings will give you quicker memory access and be better if your accessing memory alot. The higher fsb will benefit you better if you need to access and transfer alot of info over and over. would be nice to have both but usually hav to settle for one or the other.
