I did a comparison a while back, and there was much of a difference with the timings or speed untill I upped the NB to 2600 to ease up on the bottleneck. Fastest Spi32 I got was 1600Mhz 6-6-6-18 with NB at 2600.
Yes its triple effective speed.

IE DDR3 1600 = 800MHz = 2400MHz CPUNB speed.

And yes SPI32 is a memory everything intensive app.

I was talking for use on a non-bench rig. Tighter latency over higher speed is my recommendation.
