We also re-ran the PCMark05 memory performance and F.E.A.R. benchmarks again with the Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF memory modules overclocked to DDR2-1295.7MHz on our Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 powered test bed...

Overclocked Performance with PCMark05

Overall Memory Score

Despite the slightly higher latency reported on the previous page, the Corsair TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF memory kit's score went up a bit in the PCMark05 benchmark. The 14 point delta is hardly worth getting excited over, however.

In-Game Performance while Overclocked

System Memory Affects Frame rates? You Betcha!

F.E.A.R. didn't show any performance improvement while overclocked. The slightly higher bandwidth offered by the memory in its overclocked configuration just wasn't enough to bump up the framerate here.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
