Searching for the Memory Holy Grail - Part 2

Performance Tests
All of the memory in our round-up was compared at both DDR500 — the rated speed for most of the modules — and the highest stable overclock achievable that would run Gun Metal 2 Benchmark 2, Quake 3, UT2003, and Super PI to 2MM places.Results are compared for Quake 3, Sandra UNBufferred Memory Test, and Super PI. The SiSoft Sandra reports two results for each memory test — and Integer value and a Float value. We considered adding the results together for our tests, but felt it might be difficult to compare to other Sandra UNBuffered test results. Results reported in our charts are the result of averaging the INT and FLOAT scores, which are normally close in value. In essence, INT and FLOAT scores were added and divided by two for our reported score.

Okay... So I have the kingston ram, and I pulled it out to take a look at it... it has 4 chips on each side.. does that make it double sided or does that mean it's a single sided like the one in this article?Wesley Fink - Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - link
#2 -As I said in the review "You will have to decide if the increases in performance from using faster memory are worth the cost of that speedier memory. For some, these increases will matter a great deal, while for others, they will not be worth the cost."

I am currently reading the first page and I saw "Quake3 Demo FOUR.dm_66" and since I was first browsing it before reading it, I think it said "Quake FOUR!" But then, I went back since I was scrolling down quickly only to see it was Quack ;) 3, hehe.Anonymous User - Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - link
You have got to be kidding me. You're going to suggest that 6fps(at most) in UT2003 is worth spending double the price on RAM?Anonymous User - Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - link
Well I'm not going to bother reading the article, but I'll take a wild guess and say OCZ was declared the winner.
