Next review (DDR3). How do you want it done?

[mrapoc]

Perhaps run the benchmark in "World in conflict" beta. You dont need the beta key to run the benchmark/tutorial. It p00ns my pc on very high settins (256+mb overload on card and below 20fps.)

What do you think?

* RightMark Memory Analyzer

* SiSoft Sandra CPU, MMX, Memory Benchmarks

* Everest

* RealStorm

* HDTach

* WinRAR (data compression rate KB/s)

* TMPGEnc MPEG2 Encoding

* XviD Video Encoding

* LAME MP3 Encoding

* Gaming benchmarks

Seconded. There is no point tampering with the RAM. A top set of DDR2 vs a nice set of new DDR3. Basically old VS. new. See how the fair against eachother, what are the benefits,if any, of getting DDR3.

Ye unfortunately I cant even get the DDR3 to run at its stock speed so 'overclocking' is kinda out the question

1333 7-7-7-20 vs 1066 5-5-5-15 it is

[ionicle]

are they both the same quantity in Gb?

Yes

in that case, if the speed is the same, the timings are the same, and the quantity in Gb is the same, i'd like to see what the difference is

i know that DDR3 can run at a lower voltage though

but i'd like to see the actual difference ...

or is it just me?

its like DDR and DDR2, was there any difference, if they were both run at the same speed, same timings etc?
