Command Rate is the time that is needed for the memory to switch over to another chip, to command a signal. So it's like, the chips are a group of people, waiting to be selected and given a command by the group leader.

It's sort of hard to stabilize RAM at 1T, unless it's really high performance RAM or if you underclock, so you don't have to worry about it. Mostly everybody runs at 2T anyway.

i was running my crucial at 1t when i was at 3.6ghz but then it was only at 800mhz anything more and it would crash. ima try to run a 3.8 cpu run on 2t i was at 3.8 before i sent away my ram and i couldnt remeber what i did to get it stable, i got it gamign stable today at 3.8 and 1000mhz on the ram but it wouldnt run the cpu test on 3dmark06.
