Patriot Memory PDC22G8000ELK PC2-8000 DDR2 Memory Review
Patriot Memory PDC22G8000ELK PC2-8000 DDR2 Memory Review - PCSTATS
This pair of Patriot's PDC22G8000ELK 1GB DDR-2 memory fits the bill, but these modules are so utterly new, so bleeding edge that you can't have them.

SiSoft Sandra only cares about memory frequency. Here there is little surprise that the Patriot PDC22G8000ELK clocked at 1 GHz has the most bandwidth. It is able to break the 6100MB/s barrier, pretty nice!

PCMark05 is a premium tool for measuring both normal home use and simple 3D performance of the latest PC hardware. There are 11 system tests - each one is designed to represent a certain type of PC usage. By running these tests, PCMark05 stresses the components in a similar manner as they are stressed in normal home usage.

One thing should be clear about running DDR2 at stock speeds - memory modules clocked at the same speed and using similar timings always produce similar results. The memory frequency change does not affect benchmarks much because when the Patriot PDC22G8000ELK is running at DDR2-667 the tight timings make up any bandwidth differences.

3DMark05 Source: FutureMark

3DMark05 is best suited for the latest generation of DirectX9.0 graphics cards. It is the first benchmark to require a DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher! By combining high quality 3D tests, CPU tests, feature tests, image quality tools, and much more, 3DMark05 is a premium benchmark for evaluating the latest generation of gaming hardware.

3DMark05 seems to favor the smaller memory kits slightly (ie. 512MB modules). The overall performance scores with 2GB memory kits is very good.
