May I join in and ask a question?
I have 3 sticks of OCZ Gold PC12800 DDR1600 2GB. If I run it at 1600MHz, I get a bandwidth of 16889MB/s. If I run it at 1520MHz, I get the same bandwidth, and in both cases, it does not matter if it is CAS8, or CAS9 0r CAS10. If I run it at 1200MHz, I get bandwidth of 15510 MB/s. These bandwidth are much higher than the rated PC12800, and it seems to max out at 1520MHz. But, I have not overclocked the ram to beyond the rated DDR1600, nor below the rated CAS8. So, how is it that I am getting much better bandwidth than the rated value? Does it mean that I can run it at 1520 MHz and it will perform just as well as at 1600MHz, with the benefit of lower ram voltage? The bandwidth is reported from memtest86+ v2.11
