Patriot DDR400 2-2-2/DDR533 3-4-4: Performance AND Value

Performance Comparisons

Performance of the Patriot PC3200+XBLK was compared to all of the memory recently tested on the DFI nF4 AMD Athlon 64 platform. Performances of the nForce4 and nForce3 chipsets were found to be virtually identical in past reviews. We also found AGP and PCIe performance to be virtually the same in the benchmarks that we use for memory testing. Therefore, you can also compare results to other TCCD results in a recent memory review. The differences will be that the nVidia 71.84 driver is a bit faster than the 61.77 used in earlier memory review. In memory overclocking, the DFI nForce4 platform also enables a bit better memory speeds than the MSI K8N Neo2 used in past memory testing.

While we did not test on an Intel platform, the performance results can also be generally compared to previous DDR benchmark results on the Intel 875 memory test bed. More results are available in recent DDR memory reviews at:
