The stock PNY D22GX93XLP-5 memory performs very well in the memory latency random test. The other results are in line with what we expect. Overclocking increases bandwidth slightly but does a good job at decreasing latency, the latency values are probably more important for everyday computer use as most applications do not need a huge pool of bandwidth.

Running the memory at a higher clock speed does little for the overall score but increases the memory performance nicely. PCMark05 does a good job at illustrating that overclocking memory itself does little for overall performance. However, overclocking allows you to overclock the rest of the system easier.
