Return to Castle Wolfenstein is relatively new benchmark and it's gained quite a bit of popularity thanks to our good friends, Anandtech. Being based on the Quake III engine, it's obviously going to be quite taxing on even a top end system. Let's see what it thinks.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein MAX 640x480 "atdemo6"
Setting:	Score:
150 MHz	59.7 FPS
170 MHz	63.4 FPS

The atdemo6 demo is a lot like the nv15demo in Quake III. It's all CPU limited.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein MAX 640x480 "atdemo8"
Setting:	Score:
150 MHz	157.9 FPS
170 MHz	164.4 FPS

This is more like demo001 but still, RTCW seems to favor high bus speeds like it's older brother.

Conclusions:

OCZ again has really outdone itself this time. It's great that the stick could run CL2 at 150 MHz, however being able to run CL2 at 170 MHz was simply incredible. They're really living up to their name. A finely tuned AthlonXP system with fast DDR ram like this has no rivals out there, not even the "evil" Pentium4/Rambus combo can beat it.

DDR is here to stay. With memory prices so low, and DDR motherboards going for the same as SDR boards, there just isn't any reason for a consumer/enthusiast to buy SDR technology anymore. If they did, that would just be foolish!
