DFI X48 LT T2R: Floats like a Butterfly…

Synthetic Memory Performance

Memory access latency

The DFI X48 does give up some access latency performance at 500FSB due to the inability of the board to run a flat tRD of 8 at 500FSB. We had to apply a tRD of 8, with some of the tRD phase registers pulled low to a tRD of 7. However, final judgment should rest upon how the board fares in other benchmarks that stress memory and PCIE transfer thoroughly over sustained periods.
