Patriot perfects 1350MHz memory - in the lab
 

The chaps said that they are running memory at more than the milestone 1333MHz. They can push it to 1350MHz but it will take a few more weeks before you see this available in the shops.

and still Core 2 is happy with PC2-5300 memory modules...

depends if you overclock

even if you overclock you can run memory async with your FSB and still be well within specs:)

Bring it on :D

anyone remember their DDR1 5600 modules ? :rolleyes:

i'm afraid this is the same thing

Can you really do that with C2D? I thought you can't.

You can't do any "negative" dividers. Ram always runs equal or faster than the front side bus. But with this fast ram you can always pick a divider which should fit the bill (675 FSB is not going to happen any time soon ;) ) :)

you can do negative dividers, but performance won't be as good as expected.

Not on P5B, you can't. But I think you can on 975 boards and 680i.

I can run negative dividers on the Bad Axe, if I remember correctly :)

is possible on badaxe :)

yup , the abit can do it also ;)

is ~5% speed increase in games/applicaties between PC2-5300 and PC2-10000+ worth the extra $300+ cost? Or would a more expensive GPU, or CPU, or HDD or more ram (1gb vs 2gb) be a more wise purchase decision ?

What is the effect on the performance then compared to 1:1?

I'd say, only measurable with benchmarks, not noticeable in real-world apps and games

I think a list of motherboards that support negative dividers would make a nice article as it is NOT common knowledge and allows big savings.

the Asus P5W DH Deluxe can (confirmed first hand ;) )

so 975x mobo's can, 965 don't, how about NVIDIA 650i and 680i and ATI RD600?
