Test Results

To test overclocked stability, we used the very demanding Gun Metal 2 — Benchmark 2, which pushes systems with its DX9 routines. To be considered stable for test purposes, Gun Metal, our Quake3 benchmark, UT2003 Demo, and Super PI had to complete without incident. Any of these 4, and in particular Super PI and Gun Metal, will crash a less-than stable memory configuration.

The latest revision of Mushkin PC4000 High Performance performed significantly better than its rated 3-4-4-8 specification. In fact, at DDR400, like Corsair XMS4000PRO, it allowed some of the fastest timings that we have seen with DDR500 memory.

    good job guys! you keep me up-to-date wth all new memory releases and their performence, or most of all. i do not realize why you guys do not except the existence of ocz pc4000 dual channel Gold. it will most probably perform as goog as pc3700 gold at ddr400. it is officialy clocked at ddr500 and will most probably overclock as good as ocz 4000 copper. i just can't stand lating any more to see it in action.
