Pros: Started off rather dull, yes it can do 800 mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.2 volts. Then I decided to push it. Got it to a stable 950 mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.05 volts. Then I slowed it down and tightened the timings. It can run a very stable 750 mhz 4-3-3-9 at 2.0 volts.
Cons: Dislikes mhz pushing compared to timing pushing. At 900 mhz cas4 its only about a 25 percent improvement over normal.
Overall Review: Id rather have the tighter timings than push a speed. The 750mhz 4-3-3-9 benchmarks significantly better than 900 mhz cas 4. Its about 32% faster than the higher clock setting, but both are outstanding.
