I said something about:
  cas2 versus cas3

I said something about filling all memory banks.

Now you say here registered CAS2 memory filling all slots is not so bad?

Why am i not amazed?

You are not contradicting *anything* i said so far.

All the memory used has CAS2 timings (yes especially the registered memory his
machines have, the manufacturers *really* optimize it well).

All banks are filled.

So that proves my point.

Again and again. Bandwidth is *not* important.

Just random access latency is.

If you want to calculate a random access bandwidth from that... ...fine with
me...

In case you didn't notice... ...the mainboards are also different...
