Test system setup and notes:

• CPU: Intel Pentium 4 920 @ 3.73GHz
• Motherboard: Asus P5WD2-E Premium @ 266MHz FSB
• HDD: Samsung SATA2 160JJ
• PSU: Be-Quiet P6-530W
• VGA: GeCube X800GTO 256MB
• OS: Windows XP SP2

With the above configuration we tested the modules at the following speeds:

RAM timings
Maximum 100% stable operating frequency (DDR)
3/4/3/12
800MHz
5/5/5/15
1066MHz

Afterwards, we overclocked our processor further, at 3.85GHz (275MHz FSB) which resulted at a speed of 1100MHz with 5/5/5/15 timings. It was not much of an overclock since our system began to error if overclocked any more, however greater results may be achieved with higher voltage settings.

Sisoft Sandra 2007 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. Here we see that despite the tight timings at 800MHz, running the modules at 1066MHz always yields better results, except from the latency test speed factor. The 266MHz speed difference appears to be too great in this case to compensate.

PCMark05 is a very popular system benchmark which can test almost every component of your PC. By running several and varied tests, it is trying to provide results representing real world performance as close as possible. We ran only the system and memory series of tests and noted these two scores alone during our testing. Here the performance gap between the low latency and stock speed settings is small, but severely widens as we overclock the CPU higher, since the PCMark tests are also aided by the speed of your processor.
