Test Setup & Benchmarks Used:

Currently only motherboards for Intel processors can utilize DDR2 memory, so testing can be done on only one platform.

Intel Test System
Motherboard: ASUS P5AD2-E Premium (925XE)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 640 (3.2GHz)
Cooling: Asetek VapoChill XE II
Video Card: MSI 6600GT
Power Supply: Antec TrueBlue 2.0 480W
Hard Drive: Seagate ST3160827AS (160GB NCQ)
Operating System: Windows XP Pro w/SP2

 

For our testing procedure, we used MemTest86+ to check for stability, Sandra 2005, and PCMark05 for our benchmarks. Also if we say "stable", it means that the memory was stable through many loops of MemTest86+. If the memory could not run through MemTest86+ without giving errors, we did not even bother to boot into windows and run the benchmarks.

When testing memory, there are a million different ways one can test it, timings, voltages, FSB, all play an important role. For review purposes we try to focus on the overall performance of the memory, as each module will perform different on various setups. We test the memory in 5MHz increments since each module will vary some on its maximum overclock.
