Improvements all around 3% for both ALU and FPU Sisoft memory scores, 3DMark weighs in with a 13 point improvement over CAS 3 settings, and Quake 3 finishes with improvements in the 1024 and below resolutions in Normal, and 800x600 resolutions in High Quality.
For the record, I did mess around with the Delay DRAM Read Latch option, lowering it from "Auto" to "No Delay", and it actually worsened memory scores across the board. Naturally I recommend leaving this at "Auto" which is the default. Now here is something I've been dying to see what happens with. AGP 4X Mode. Default is "Disabled" but lets enable that bad motor scooter and see if there are any benefits to be had.
