OCZ Platinum r2 DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit
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) Testing: Synthetic Applications SiSoft Sandra SiSoft's Sandra is a comprehensive benchmarking utility, with very nice memory tools. We use it to measure system bandwidth and memory latency, both of which have direct impact on a computer's overall performance.
