Rob says that memory is the bottleneck for AM2 system, anyone know why?

Just curious.

[The Wise Monkey]

I don't know actually - its usually CPU speed that creates bottlenecks.

What it means is that to get the very best performance you need to use ram that is perfectly in sink with the AMD cpu you are using.

I've added some information on this page which helps show how RAM affects overall system performance.
