Memory Tests

We'll take a look at some of our regular tests first.



There's not a great deal in it, according to ScienceMark 2.0's findings. Differing latencies and module capacity sizes translates to around a 1% bandwidth difference. We could live with that.



Latency, as expected, is a few clocks higher for OCZ's 2GB Dual-Channel PC3200 pack.



Differences in latency, bandwidth, and module size makes 512MB (2x256MB) memory less than a second faster than OCZ's. Perhaps OCZ has a legitimate case when it calls this performance memory. Chip density helps alleviate the performance penalties imposed by high latencies, it seems.
