Re: 3DMark06 scores
OK.
Well being a DFI user I get alot of my first-hand information from the experts at www.dfi-street.com. There are some serious professionals over there who post extensive guides on the subjects of memory, overclocking and obviouslly: DFI related issues. A few of the moderators there are employees from OCZ who are there to offer advanced help with memory issues and DFI boards. They know their stuff! OK, I don't think you can contest their opinion, so without further ado:
tight timings? loose timings? dividers? 1T or 2T? 754 or 939? (read here!)
This thread explains in great detail 1T, 2T and memory timings. On the subject of timings: loose timings with higher bandwidths offer the best game performance. Obviouslly there is a balance. If you want that backing up then check this thread.

How memory timings on A64's affect performance - The truth.
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread....t=loose+timing
1T vs 2T is debated. With 2T you can (usually) run higher FSBs which can have a positive effect on your clocks and performance. Obviouslly that higher clock will yield better performance than tightly timed, 1T memory. It depends on individual circumstances and needs. That DFI-Street guide is pretty decent from what I remember and should give you enough facts to let you make your own conclusion. I think a 1T vs. 2T debate should be saved for another thread though :)
Regarding 1T vs 2T in 3D Mark however... 1T WILL universally offer more points than 2T. That's pretty much well documented anywhere you go. If you want the extra few points then 1T can help.
As for improvements in BF2 that is debated, but I've heard users on this and other forums saying they have had anywhere from 0 to 20% increases in frames when changing from 4 sticks to 2.
Anyways. peace.
