I have PIS series PC16000CL9 4GB Memory.
alot of AMD users have trouble running memory past 1600 and get good stability, and good performance.
I played with my bios for a week straight, I've tested several voltages and lots of different memory settings and timings.
I finally managed to get memtest running for 3 hrs straight with no errors, also I got everest burn-in running for 2hrs - no problem.
dram 1.71 volts, cpu/nb 1.3
ht reference clock 250 x 16
1.45 vcore.
100% stable 4.0Ghz cpu, 2000Mhz ram @ 9-9-9-24.
For those who claim that their downclocked ram 1600, or 1333, or 1066 ram performs better with super tight timings, I think you need better programs, or different memory.
I've tested my ram against 1800@8-8-8-24, and 1600@ 7-7-7-24 , and 1600@ 6-7-6-24, and the proof is in the pudding.... 2000 9-9-9-24 consistantly had higher memory bandwith and lower latencies.
I used passmark 7.0, benchmem, and SiSandra to benchmark the ram at those timings.
My desktop is being upgraded atm, so unfortunately I can't post screenshots.
bottom line: My memory performed best running at the speed it was designed to go at.
