To begin
with, we tried to find the maximum overclocking
capability of the HP3200 2GB kit. We found out that
the best this kit could achieve was 240MHz with
2.5/3/3/6 timings. For convenience purposes we booted
the system at 240MHz HTT, so that by using the proper
divider (CPU/11) we could also run the modules down
to 197MHz with 2/3/2/6 timings, very close to their
rated stock speed, while keeping the results comparable.
The DDR voltage was set at 2.8V through all of the
tests. Extra voltage would not help the overclocking
of the modules any further as Infineon BE-5 chips
do not react well to high voltages. Stability is
tested by running Memtest for at least 30 minutes
at the test settings to ensure that there are no
errors.

Sisoft Sandra
is a popular synthetic benchmark, commonly used
when testing the speed of RAM modules. When testing
the RAM buffered, the overall speed is heavily affected
by the CPU and FSB speed. Testing the RAM unbuffered
will provide much more accurate results, but beware
that Sisoft Sandra is a synthetic benchmark and
does not represent real-world performance. Of course
the results taken with the RAM running at 240MHz
are better; 40MHz is quite a difference even though
the timings are a bit slower. We could not help
but notice that the RAM is performing exceptionally
well at both speeds, as it is outrunning many modules
that we previously tested, even though we are running
the RAM and CPU at a slower speed.

RightMark
Memory Analyzer is another standard memory benchmark.
We ran the standard stream benchmark and noted the
average results. As usual RMA gives results close
to Sandra, and again we see the 2GB HP3200 kit giving
excellent performance.
