Corsair TWINX512-3700 Review @ Techseekers.net

***Zardon*** · Jul 17, 2003, 04:03 PM

Techseekers.net has looked at some of Corsair 's TWINX512-3700 Modules. They test them against some Corsair PC3500, Corsair PC3200, and some other brands.

If you have been following the reviews of recent Canterwood and Springdale boards like I have, you will very quickly find out that the majority of them are excellent overclockers. It is not uncommon to achieve quite a substantial increase in performance just by raising the FSB speed alone. This is the market at which these Corsair modules are aimed. As we found out in previous memory reviews here on Techseekers.net, particularly in the last two, that low latency memory timings becomes less and less important the higher up in FSB speed you go. To cover this market Corsair has brought out some new memory modules to allow you to reach the dizzy heights of high FSB.

I just don't understand why people don't bench memory on AMD systems also... I mean, seriously, Intel gets MAD bandwidth...... But most people that run Intel run Rambus... AMD is the only system running running DDR totally. It hypes you up when they bench on an Intel system... Cuz on most AMD systems you just can't get the memory to 250mhz, whereas in Intel you can get 250mhz.
