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.

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.

SuperPi

SuperPi is used to relate the real-world benefits of lower latencies and greater system bandwidth. We use SuperPi Mod 1.5 for finer definition; milliseconds instead of seconds.
