Well, here's what I found:

latest drivers, themes disabled, no audio, XP pro sp1

DDR400:

sw2005.Result.score = 1.46 sw2005.Result.graphics = 1.33 sw2005.Result.cpu = 1.62 sw2005.Result.io = 1.49

DDR333:

sw2005.Result.score = 1.42 sw2005.Result.graphics = 1.29 sw2005.Result.cpu = 1.59 sw2005.Result.io = 1.43

DDR266:

sw2005.Result.score = 1.41 sw2005.Result.graphics = 1.28 sw2005.Result.cpu = 1.59 sw2005.Result.io = 1.42

DDR200:

sw2005.Result.score = 1.37 sw2005.Result.graphics = 1.23 sw2005.Result.cpu = 1.56 sw2005.Result.io = 1.37

It looks like upgrading memory speed is worth just a few percentage points. I should do some more tests to see if my CAS 2.5 is worth the bother....

My next project is to work through the tests in the following article while the BM is running:

Interesting. I'll have to have a look through those.

I agree - looks like quite interesting reading, but no time right now.
