We also re-ran the PCMark memory performance test and low-res Doom 3 benchmarks again with the Corsair TWINX2048-3500LL Pro memory modules overclocked to DDR498 (2.5-3-3-10) on our AMD Athlon 64 4000+ powered testbed...

Overclocked Performance with PCMark05

Overall Memory Score

As expected, running these memory kits at significantly higher clock speeds boosted their PCMark score by a good amount. The Corsair TWINX2048-3500LL Pros came out on top with a score of 6412, an increase of 618 points over stock.

System Memory Affects Frame rates? You Betcha!

Bumping up the memory's operating frequency also gave framerates in Doom 3 a nice boost. The Corsair TWINX2048-3500LL Pro kit managed to break the 180 FPS mark in our custom test, which was the highest score of bunch.

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
