Something
which is guaranteed to fully stress your processor
is Video Encoding. For this test we’ve taken
a High definition source file (117mb / 1m 50+
seconds) and are converting it to H.264 avi using
the latest version of ATI’s Avivo converter.
Resolution is kept the same from source>converted
file and maximum bit rate is selected.

2 -DVD Creation
As
well as watching your DVDs on a PC you can also
make your own with tools such as Sonic MyDVD.
This is a task which is becoming more and more
common so with this in mind we have put together
an average encoding task which takes 4 350mb (43min)
AVI files and re-encodes and resizes them to DVD
format. We’ve used Sonic MyDVD v6.1 for
this test.

Performance Summary
If
you have read through all of the tests which have
featured up to this point in the article it should
be clear that there is a bit of a trend developing.
Generally the OCZ modules perform as well as the
higher spec’d Dominators at DDR2-800 however
as soon as we take full advantage of the enhanced
speeds available on some motherboards the Dominators
begin to shine. The encoding test is no different
and again we see the Corsair perform well at DDR2-1066.
