Kingston KVR1333D3E9S 4GB ECC Server RAM

SiSoft Sandra:

While SiSoft Sandra has a wide range of synthetic benchmarks for testing your rig, today we will just be looking at the memory tests.

	Memory Bandwidth	Memory Latency

The memory bandwidth benchmark test how the RAM performs with both integers and floating point numbers. It then averages the two for an aggregate result. From the charts, we see the ValueRAM doesn’t come in first, but it is a solid contender against other Sandy Bridge based systems. The memory latency of 76.6 ns is about where we would expect DDR3 1333 to score, whether it is ECC or not.

Memtach:

MemTach is a thoroughly exhausting benchmark that provides more information than you would ever need. From the data, we can see that our RAM’s average memset is 5642.0 MB/sec and memcpy is 6776.9 MB/sec. The entire benchmark took 11.53 seconds to run. Memset and memcpy are functions from the C programming language that are used to set the contents of a block of memory and copy the contents of a block of memory to another block, respectively. This is significant as a number of real world programs (both enterprise grade and commercial) are written in C (less recently than in the past), so this can give a real world indication of performance in some apps. The RAM performs well, but doesn’t come close to something like performance gaming RAM. Kingston isn’t trying to set world speed records with their ValueRAM line.
