“We have several DDR3 related articles in the works, but in this article we will be looking just at the DDR3 system memory performance in the RAMspeed synthetic benchmark under Linux. The DDR3 memory we’ll be using is the OCZ DDR3-1333 2GB Gold Kit with a part number of OCZ3G13332GK.”Here are some more Memory articles from around the web:

Do penguins like DDR3?

Phoronix tried out an ASUS Blitz Extreme with a pair of OCZ’s 1GB DDR3-1333
at various clock speeds. They installed Fedora 7 with the Linux 2.6.22.4 kernel, GCC 4.1, and X server 1.3 and used RAMspeed 2.5.0 to see how the performance scaled at different speeds. The RAM still comes at a premium, but it does look like you can expect to see at least some benefit to using the new DDR standard.
