Well on that point, conroe tests show that even with the current non-integrated controller from the 975X, the CPU's memory performance as a whole does as good or better than an A64 X2. I think this test shows that latency is now a major factor for conroe - just like it always has been for AMD. Interesting to note that DDR2-533 has a *slight* performance lead over DDR2-667.

I don't know why this would suprise anyone. With a non-integrated memory controller, I struggle to see how you'd ever get that big of a performance jump with ddr2
