Benchmarks: Business Winstone 2004, SiSoft Sandra 2004

Winstone 2004 Source: Zdnet

Business Winstone 2004 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 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.

Business Winstone 2004
Memory Points Ranking
2x 512MB PQI Turbo PQI25400-1GDB (200/533) 22.7
2x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC2-5400 (200/533) 23.5
2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (200/533) 23.7
2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (231/614) 25.7

At stock speeds we see that the Mushkin PC2-4200 DDR-2 memory has no problems keeping up with the Crucial Ballistix memory, and is faster than PQI's offering.

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.

2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (231/614) 5547 5563

At stock speeds, all the memory modules have about the same bandwidth. This shouldn't be surprising considering they're running at the same speeds.
