Mushkin Enhanced PC3200 Special Edition Memory Review - PCSTATS
Now that the focus of enthusiasts and overclockers has shifted squarely onto maintaining low latency, raw clock speed just isn't as important as it seemed.

Benchmarks: Business Winstone 2002, SiSoft Sandra 2004

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

It should be no surprise that the Mushkin and OCZ PC3200 Platinum Edition memory perform the same, after all they're running the same timings and use the same DRAM.

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance. Higher numbers represent better performance.

Bandwidth at stock speeds is very good. When overclocked, the Mushkin RAM performs better, naturally.
