Test Setup

We bench RAM on high-end hardware with heavy overclocking features to rule out potential motherboard, processor, and video card bottlenecks, while using synthetic testing applications and games for benchmarks. Each benchmark is run three times and the results of each test are averaged together. Lastly, we overclock the memory to round out the review.

Test Computer

Processor: AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ (Sponsored by AMD)
Memory: Crucial 2x1024MB DDR2 800MHz @ 5-5-5-15 (Sponsored by Crucial)
Motherboard: DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Power Supply: Thermaltake Purepower 1000W (Sponsored by Thermaltake)
Operating System: Windows XP Professional w/ SP2 (Sponsored by Microsoft)

Our game benchmarks use the same custom timedemos that we use to benchmark video cards, but to minimize the chance of the video card affecting the results, the resolution and special effects are set to the absolute minimums.
