Let’s now see how the choice of the memory modules can affect the performance of the system in general.

The diagrams show that the speed of real applications varies depending on the particular memory module. OCZ’s PC2 4200 Enhanced Bandwidth Platinum sticks boast the highest performance again, while the OCZ PC2 4300 loses in almost all the tests. The modules from PQI, GeIL and Corsair have similar speeds, although different timings are written into the SPD units of these modules.
