SiSoft Sandra 2002 is designed to test the
theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers
taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world
performance.

At stock speeds,
since all of the memory was set to run with the most aggressive settings,
each stick performed about the same as one another. However when
the individual sticks are overclocked, the men are separated from the
boys.
With the XMS2400 Corsair running
at the highest FSB, it's no wonder it also has the most memory bandwidth.
Please remember though, these Sandra 2002 Pro scores are not comparable to other
versions of Sandra.
3DMark2001 is the latest installment in the 3DMark
series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics,
it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 has been
created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers
to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming
performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true
performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and
Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene
Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time
physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

At stock
speeds, all the scores for each stick of memory
are within the margin of error. However when the are overclocked, the XMS2400
Corsair leads the way. 3DMark2001 has always been known to like high
FSB's/memory bandwidth and those are some very nice healthy increases!
