Mushkin Redline XP3500 DDR 1GB (2x512MB) Memory Dual Pack

Test Setups & Benchmarks Used:

Since this product is targeted for low latency and high voltage, there is only one route to go and use one of the recommended motherboards that Mushkin lists.

For our testing procedure, we used MemTest86+ to check for stability, Sandra 2005, and Everest 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.

Synthetic memory benchmarks are somewhat biased towards the total CPU speed, so I tried to keep the increase as minimal as possible to show just the change in memory.
