SUMMARY: Memory module speeds seem to be getting faster and faster each day with a handful of memory manufacturers pushing the limits. One such manufacturer is the provocative OCZ Technology group based out of Sunnyvale, CA who has been releasing ultra fast memory modules for sometime now. Today Cameron "Sov" Johnson takes a look at one of their newest modules - their PC3500 DDR-433 part. Does it have what it takes to compete with the likes of other ultra fast modules on the market? Read on and find out!
SiSoft Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) 2002 is a synthetic Windows benchmark that features different tests used to evaluate different PC subsystems. We used this to test CPU Raw Performance, Multimedia Instruction Set and Memory Bandwidth Performance. While they are all synthetic results, they do give us a general idea of what is happening and where a component’s strengths and weaknesses are.
In terms of bandwidth, the OCZ 3500 is right up there with Geil, while not being able to overtake it, it still is able to equal it, making it a good contender so far.
