In today's tests we will be pitting the Kingston DDR3 triple channel memory kit against the Corsair memory kit we have dedicated for our test bench. While the Corsair memory is higher in specs, it's of the same capacity so we will be able to do a comparison at 1066, 1333 and 1490MHz speeds. While the Corsair can go higher, we want to see just how good the ValueRAM is up against some tough competition.

EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems.
First for us is EVEREST and here we see that at both 1066MHz and 1333MHz the two different kits manage to remain right on top of each other. It isn't until we get to 1490MHz the Corsair manages a few extra points; this was due to the Corsair being able to run even lower latencies at this speed.
