OCZ 4200EL: Tops in Memory Performance

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.OCZ 4200EL - 2 x 512Mb Double-Bank | |||||

The latest revision of OCZ 4200EL performed better than its rated 2.5-4-4-7 specification. In fact, at DDR400, like Corsair XMS4000PRO and Mushkin, it allowed some of the fastest timings that we have seen with any high-speed memory. The top speed of DDR560 is also the highest stable overclock that we have yet seen on any DDR memory.

Problem is #4, DDR500 isn't useless. You're ignoring results if you can't see that.Anonymous User - Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - link
Can you guys come up with something a little more useful than Sandra and the 4-year old Q3? Maybe something that actually illustrates how silly and useless this and other DDR500+ really is?Zuni - Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - link

Pulldown menu has DDR400 test results page linked 4 times so everything after that doesn't work properlywicktron - Monday, October 13, 2003 - link
