Memory Performance

To test memory performance, we will use Everest 2006, SiSoft Sandra 2007, and ScienceMark 2.0. The Alienware Area 51 7500 we are using is configured with 2x 1024MB DDR2 sticks at 5-5-5-16. The custom built nForce 680i is using 2x 1024 DDR2 sticks as well but at 5-5-5-18.

Though the memory timings are similar, the Alienware Area-51 really shines — the installed Patriot RAM is really kicking some serious butt.
