Howdy all,

Ok, so I read in a thread the other night something, that I wasnt quite sure about it. It said that lower memory timings on A64 boards werent as important as they were on AXP boards, because the A64 boards have an "on board memory controller". I'm having trouble finding reviews using memory with different timings, low and high, on A64 boards. Is there any validity in this? Can anyone out there enlighten me?

-------

Also, in general, or A64 boards capable of running memory in dual channel mode like almost all AXP boards can 'nowadays'? Once again, I saw somewhere. . .I really shouldnt read stuff so late. . .that they didnt.


Thanks for the help.

Actually timings aren't that important at all for any AMD system. The difference between say CAS 2 and CAS 3 RAM is so small it's really not worth worrying about.

See this article:

The above article is starting to get a little dated, but still good information.

With an A64 you really don't need to worry about memory timings. Same goes for dual channel. On and AXP system dual channel gave you a pretty decent performance increase, on A64 system, its not worth worrying about.
