Performance Comparisons
Performance of the Corsair TwinX1024-4000 PRO was compared to all of the memory recently tested in Searching for the Memory Holy Grail — Part 2 and Mushkin & Adata: 2 for the Fast-Timings Lane. Memory performance was compared at DDR400, DDR500 (the rated speed for most of the modules), and the highest stable overclock we could achieve 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. SiSoft Sandra Max3 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.

I wonder at which Performance Mode you have run the OC conditions (500 and 539 FSB)?PAT disabled, Fast or Turbo?

These reviews should include the Twinmos Twister PC4000. This is reported to be able to do 2-2-3-6 at ddr400 at 2.75V and 2.5-3-3-6 (the only memory i have seen at 3-3 as ddr500) at ddr500 at 2.85V with the highest oc's at ddr530 at 2.5-3-3-8 at 2.85V.Anonymous User - Friday, September 19, 2003 - link
BH-5's are EOL this month...DragonReborn - Thursday, September 18, 2003 - link
I'm a little on the fence here. I have a watercooled setup with an IS7/2.4c combo and I was wondering what the best 2x 512 sticks of ram would be without killing the bank. I want to do some OC'ing so I was thinking of getting the Geil 4000 plat or Buffalo 3700 (BH-5 chips). Any reason to get another kind or not to get one of the ones I mentioned?? Thanks!Anonymous User - Thursday, September 18, 2003 - link
Man....all these comments seems pretty self promoting from ocz and geil... let the readers decide and choose.

yes, but it is Geil platinium used in the test, that doesn't use WLCSP. and still the Golden Dragon series is good althernative for reducing the heat inside the case. And don't forget that Geil's Golden series last the first ddr500 modules back in March http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/memory/display/200303... though they didn't get available recently.Anonymous User - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - link
But Geil's memory OCed pretty nicely here - at least the sample Wes had did.Anonymous User - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - link
WLCSP is intended as a thermal solution and to date hasn't shown much promise in the enthusiast sector as it doesn't OC as well as TSOP's.Elite9 - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - link
Why is nobody but Geil using WLCSP packaging on their DIMMS? I've seen it in notebooks, but it seems to be a great option for high-speed DRAM.
