SiSoft Sandra 2004

Our first test is Sandra's memory benchmark. The results are purely theoretical and may not accurately represent real-world performance.

Not too suprising, both sets of PC4000 perform at almost exactly the same theoretical level. Both show a more than 25% increase in performance when going from 400 MHz to 500 MHz. Note that the CPU speed has also increased 600 MHz due to the 1:1 ratio.

Aida32

AIDA32 has a built in benchmark that tests the theoretical read/write bandwidth of system memory. Like Sandra, the results may vary from the memory's real-world performance.

Aida32's results show about the same 25% performance increase from 400 MHz to 500 MHz.
