Memory Performance

Like the CPU tests on the previous page, these tests evaluate the performance of the memory modules that the vendor chose to use in this particular sample that was sent to us. The W2J that we are testing comes with a 1GB of DDR2 RAM manufactured by Nanya. The default timing for this RAM at 333 MHz is 5-5-5-15.

With a single 1 GB DIMM, the Asus W2J shows better memory performance than the faster Dell XPS M1710 laptop with 2GB of RAM. The W2J appears faster because the single SODIMM in has less latency than the two SODIMMs in the Dell M1710.
