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.

Here in PCMark05 the overall score does not change much
from overclocking but the memory portion of the benchmark sure does. Let's see
what this extra bandwidth means to the 3D tests.
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's overall score is mainly videocard limited
which is why the boost due to overclocking the memory is minimal. The CPU
portion of the test definitely notices the extra bandwidth though, it's almost
1000 points higher than stock!
