The memory was compared with Kingston ValueRam PC3200. We tried to push this memory as far as we could, but could not even reach a 210FSB (2.9GHz) before it became unstable.
SiSoft Sandra
Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken are purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.
3dMark 2003
3dMark2003 tests gaming performance using DirectX8 and DirectX9 technology. Video cards that do not have DX9 hardware support will perform poorly using this benchmark. Your results may be higher if using a more advanced video card, such as the nVidia FX6800 series. The results simply compare how a stock system scales when overclocking.
Doom3
Id software’s Doom 3 is currently the most technically demanding game currently available and requires some serious hardware to play smoothly. This benchmark was running using timedemo1 at 640×480 resolution. The computer was rebooted between tests to remove any system cache that would effect the test framerate.
dbPowerAMP
dbPowerAMP is a free music converter used to convert a raw WAV to MP3 using the LAME decoder. The song file used was 3:48 in length and was encoded to 192Kbps.
