2x 512MB SyncMAX PC2-5300 Express (200/667)	6750	6690
2x 512MB SyncMAX PC2-5300 Express (210/840)	7495	7418

It should not be a surprise that when the SyncMAX PC2-5300 Express is clocked at DDR2-667, memory bandwidth is lower. When overclocked, memory is in line with DDR2-800 memory modules. Nice.

PCMark05 numbers are very close at stock settings, the slower memory does not handicap the system at all in the overall test. The memory numbers are lower when the memory is running at DDR2-667 mode, but it's not that bad.
