Performance Comparisons
Performance of the OCZ 4200EL was compared to all of the memory recently tested in:Mushkin PC4000 High Performance: DDR500 PLUS
Corsair TwinX1024-4000 PRO: Improving DDR500 Performance
Mushkin & Adata: 2 for the Fast-Timings Lane
Searching for the Memory Holy Grail — Part 2
Memory performance was compared at DDR400, DDR500 — the rated speed for most of the modules, and the highest achievable stable overclock that would run Gun Metal 2 Benchmark 2, Quake 3, UT2003, and Super PI to 2MM places. Since OCZ 4200EL is the first memory we have tested to be rated at 533, we included two values for OCZ 4200EL in our DDR500 charts: one at DDR500, and one clearly marked 533 and representing performance at 533.
Results are compared for Quake 3, Sandra UNBufferred Memory Test, and Super PI. The SiSoft Sandra reports 2 results for each memory test, an Integer value and a Float value. Results reported in our charts are the result of averaging the INT and FLOAT scores, which are normally close in value. INT and FLOAT scores were added and divided by 2 for our reported score.

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
