PQI's PQI24200-1GDB DDR2 Turbo Memory Kit

To get this next batch of results, we manually lowered the latencies of each memory kit to 3-3-2-4.  This was the lowest possible settings we could achieve with the PQI24200 Turbo series.  We set the Corsair XMS2 to the same settings as a reference.

Performance Comparison with SiSoft SANDRA 2004 Raw Bandwidth

PQI24200-1GDB (3-3-2-4)

XMS2-5300Pro (3-3-2-4)

When we look at the effects of the lower latencies on SANDRA's results, we saw the PQI memory hit the same speeds as the Corsair at 3-3-2-4, while the Corsair modules led the results within 31MB in the Integer test and 43MB in the Floating Point test.

Performance Comparison with PCMark04 Overall Memory Score

Again, we saw the PCMark04 results favor the Corsair memory with a 14 point difference, a tighter margin than the previous test.
