Above memory read performance; as measured with Everest, a tool that is growing slowly on me.
Synthetic numbers are simply the best way to show you the exact difference between timings and frequencies. Something that is very hard to show with games.
The modules used:
| 1024 MB - Corsair 2x512MB CAS4 @ 667 MHz | CMX2X512A-5400UL 4:4:4:14 (1 GB @ 667) |
| 2048 GB Patriot 2x1GB CAS4 @ 667 MHz | PDC22G5300LLK 4:4:4:12 (2 GB @ 667) |
| 4096 GB Corsair 2x2GB CAS4 @ 800 MHz | TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX 4:4:4:12 (4GB @ 800) |
| 2048 GB Corsair 2x1GB CAS5 @ 1143 MHz | CM2X1024-9136C5D 5:5:5:15 (2GB @ 1143) |
So we use four memory kits, one 1GB, two 2GB and the 4GB kit. So where you spot TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX 4:4:4:12 (4GB @ 800) that's the memory as tested today. You'll notice it's really close to the Dominator series throughout the review. But bare in mind, the Dominator memory is more suitable for overclocked systems.
Memory Write Performance
Memory Write performance - Charming and rather fun results for the 4 GB kit. Very nice.
Memory Copy Performance
When we look at pure copy performance we see the Dominator memory (91365D) take (a marginal) lead.
