Synthetic BenchmarksBenchmark Reviews uses synthetic benchmarks to more effectively show difference between the hardware being tested. These tests are very sensitive to the most minor changes and therefore can highlight the performance difference that exist between different sets of RAM.
AIDA64 provides a memory benchmarking tool that scales well with speed but unfortunately does not respond nearly as well to tightening timings. The increase in performance from the Mushkin Redline Enhanced 1600Mhz 7-8-7-24 is around 7% for the Read Benchmark increasing from 20264MB/s to 21746.5MB/s. At the same time the G.Skill Sniper performed about 3.5% better at write tests then the Mushkin Redline Enhanced 1600Mhz 7-8-7-24 at 23572.5MB/s
One of our newest benchmarking applications MaxxMEM2 provides results that are responsive to speed change. The G.Skill Sniper provides 8.3% more bandwidth at 22437.5MB/s compared to our low latency 1600Mhz 7-8-7-24 set of RAM. The write performance is far less interesting with only a ~3% difference between the Sniper and the Redline Enhanced 1600Mhz memory. The last score is an overall memory score in MB/s which has G.Skill's Sniper performing roughly 5% better than the Redline Enhanced 1600Mhz at 22605MB/s.
Using STREAM SiSoft's Sandra provides a near linear performance increase as the speed of RAM increases. While testing I found that moving from G.Skill's RipJaw at 1600Mhz with 9-9-9-24 timings to the Sniper series at 1866Mhz with 9-10-9-28 timing provided a 12% boost in bandwidth moving from 21GB/s to 23.84GB/s for integer buffered performance. The difference in performance provides close to the 14.3% difference in speed that exists between the G.Skill Sniper and RipJaw memory sets that we tested.

Is the chart displaying this kit @ diff mhz(s)? OR Are the 1600, 2100, 1866, ect all separate kits. if so maybe you could label them, because they have no names.
(If they are different kits) Can this kit be OCed to 9,10,9,27 DDR2133? with a voltage bump. What is the max votage of this kit? 1.7v? Just wondering.
Thanx for reading and replying if you have time.
They are each different kits, I found that if I added labels I had to make the font far to small I will see what can be done to alleviate this problem.
If you look at the RAM Testing and Results I list the kit's that were being tested.
Thank you for the input!
any feedback or suggestions for ram would be helpful, I'm looking for 12-16Gb of 1600-1866mhz, I'm interested in overclocking it later, I play a lot of games competitively and I run multiple programs at once often including programs like photoshop.
thanks for your time ^__^
Thanks.
Have a kit on the way I picked up for $54 but will return them if they can not do cas 8!
ihave AMD phenom ii x6 1100T
which do you guys think would be best? I cant find a direct comparison.
