In this next round of benchmarks, we re-ran the Memory performance module built-into Futuremark's PCMark05 with each set of modules set to their rated frequencies and timings

Performance Comparison with PCMark05

Overall Memory Score

Corsair's new Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF kit posted the highest score in PCMark05's memory performance module a well. The Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF kit outpaced the 8500C5 and OCZ PC2800 kits by 105 and 287 points, respectively.

In-Game Performance Comparisons

System Memory Affects Framerates? You Betcha!

We continued testing these modules with some low-quality F.E.A.R. benchmark runs while the systems were running at their rated speeds as well.

Because we kept our processor's clock speed as close to "stock" as possible while altering the memory's speed and timings, performance didn't jump dramatically in the F.E.A.R. benchmark. The Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF kit technically offered the best performance, but the delta separating the systems was only 6 frames per second.

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
