The overall score jumps slightly with the overclocked RAM, but it's the CPU portion of the test that really benefits. This is pretty impressive for just a memory overclock!

ID Software Doom 3 1.3 Source: id Software

Doom 3 takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrow's videocards will have a hard time running everything. The frame rates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three times with the third run being recorded.

This should show you that overclocking the memory itself only boosts performance moderately. When combined with an entire system overclock, the results will be much higher.

ID Software Quake 4 1.3

Source: id Software

Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures

Quake 4 exhibits similar results as Doom 3, overclocking the memory does boost frame rates in the game by a few points.
