Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF

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 DDR2-1158MHz on our Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 powered test bed...

Overclocked Performance with PCMark05
Overall Memory Score

 

An additional 48MHz netted an increase of only 8 points in PCMark05's memory performance benchmark. When compared to the default scores, however, we see an increase of over 1000 points.

In-Game Performance while Overclocked
System Memory Affects Frame rates?  You Betcha!

Performance in the F.E.A.R. benchmark didn't change much with the higher memory clock either.  In fact, we'd attribute the extra 1 frame per second to the slightly higher processor frequency, and not to the small increase in memory bandwidth offered by the 48MHz increase.

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
