Corsair TwinX2048-6400 PRO PC2-6400 DDR-2 Memory Review
Corsair TwinX2048-6400 PRO PC2-6400 DDR-2 Memory Review - PCSTATS
Battlefield 2 is especially well known for requiring at least 1GB of installed RAM memory to run smoothly... so why not aim high and upgrade to 2GB of installed RAM?

Benchmarks: Winstone 2004, Sandra 2005, PCMark04

Winstone 2004 Source: Zdnet

Business Winstone 2004 runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance scores.

Business Winstone 2004:
Memory Points Ranking
2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (200/533) 32.9
2x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 (200/667) 32.7
2x 512MB Corsair PC2-8000UL (200/800) 33.4
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (200/800) 32.5
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (231/935) 34.7

At stock speeds, the Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 Pro performs on par with the sets of 512MB modules, in office applications the computer is mainly user limited.

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system as well as the individual components. The results are also purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

2x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 (200/667) 5041 5036
2x 512MB Corsair Twin2X1024-8000UL (200/800) 5083 5072
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (200/800) 5077 5076
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (231/935) 5563 5542

It should be clear that memory size does not affect its bandwidth. Overclocking slightly boosts bandwidth about 500MB/s all around.

PCMark04 Source: FutureMark

PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including whole applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to maintain a smaller installation size while still giving accurate results.

PCMark04:
Overall Points Ranking
2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (200/533) 6316
2x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 (200/667) 6441
2x 512MB Corsair PC2-8000UL (200/800) 6526
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (200/800) 6611
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (231/935) 6875
Memory Points Ranking
2x 512MB Mushkin PC2-4200 (200/533) 5144
2x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 (200/667) 5209
2x 512MB Corsair PC2-8000UL (200/800) 5220
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (200/800) 5295
2x 1024MB Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 PRO (231/935) 5644

Please keep in mind that the processor is also overclocked when looking at the overclocked results. The memory portion of PCMark04 nets a decent performance boost due to overclocking.
